# *The Myth of American Inequality: How Government Biases Policy Debate*

This mismeasurement of income inequality has given us costly and unjustified policy interventions to boost redistribution. That’s the argument from the book coauthored by Cato’s John F. Early, *[The Myth of American Inequality](https://www.amazon.com/Myth-American-Inequality-Government-Biases/dp/1538167387/)*.
