Understanding Economic Inequality

Todd A. Knoop

Abstract: This thoroughly revised second edition explores the growing sense of economic dissatisfaction, political polarization and social conflict across the world and the role that economic inequality is playing in this great dismantling. It incorporates research on how these imbalances affect societal systems in ways that not only contribute to less equitable outcomes, but also decrease economic growth and increase geopolitical unrest.
