This second edition of Gary S. Becker's "The Economics of
Discrimination" has been expanded to include three further
discussions of the problem and an entirely new introduction which
considers the contributions made by others in recent years and some
of the more important problems remaining.
Mr. Becker's work confronts the economic effects of discrimination
in the market place because of race, religion, sex, color, social
class, personality, or other non-pecuniary considerations. He
demonstrates that discrimination in the market place by any group
reduces their own real incomes as well as those of the minority.
The original edition of "The Economics of Discrimination" was
warmly received by economists, sociologists, and psychologists
alike for focusing the discerning eye of economic analysis upon a
vital social problem--discrimination in the market place.
"This is an unusual book; not only is it filled with ingenious
theorizing but the implications of the theory are boldly confronted
with facts. . . . The intimate relation of the theory and
observation has resulted in a book of great vitality on a subject
whose interest and importance are obvious."--M.W. Reder, "American
Economic Review"
"The author's solution to the problem of measuring the motive
behind actual discrimination is something of a "tour de force," . .
. Sociologists in the field of race relations will wish to read
this book."--Karl Schuessler, "American Sociological Review"
