Family income-based statistics on social welfare suggest that inequality has increased and poverty remained persistently high over the past twenty-five years. Yet consumption-based statistics yield rigorous and quite different estimates. Slesnick's examination reveals that the standard of living has grown significantly while inequality and poverty have decreased.
