Studies of the empirical relationship between income and mortality often rely on data aggregated by geographic areas and broad population groups and do not distinguish disabled and nondisabled persons. We investigate the relationship between individual mortality and lifetime income with a large micro data base of current and former retired participants in the U. S. Social Security system. Logit models by gender and race confirm a negative relationship. Differences in age of death between low and high lifetime income are on the order of two to three years. Income-related mortality differences between blacks and whites are largest at low-income levels while gender differences appear to be large and persistent across income levels.

Serait-ce la fin du rêve américain ? L'espérance de vie aux Etats-Unis a récemment baissé : du jamais-vu en Occident depuis 1918. Durant les deux dernières décennies, le nombre des suicides ou des décès dus à l'alcoolisme et à la consommation de drogues n'a cessé d'augmenter. Anne Case et le prix Nobel d'économie Angus Deaton ont été les premiers à tirer la sonnette d'alarme face à ce phénomène qui affecte principalement la classe ouvrière blanche. Ils dressent dans cet ouvrage le portrait d'une Amérique dont le système économique et social conduit à l'enrichissement toujours plus important des riches, tandis qu'il abandonne les non-diplômés, autrefois portés par l'American Dream et désormais condamnés au désespoir. Les auteurs livrent une analyse puissante de la façon dont les excès du capitalisme détruisent les classes populaires américaines et ruinent tous leurs espoirs. Ils proposent également des pistes pour enrayer cette spirale mortifère.
