The inequality compendium hailed by Knight-Ridder as a "must-read
for everyone who hopes to see equal opportunity restored to its
rightful place in the American dream."
""Astonishing as it seems, scarcely anyone in official Washington
seems to be troubled by a gap between rich and poor that is greater
than it has been in half a century--and greater than that of any
other Western nation today.""--from the foreword by Bill Moyers
The critically acclaimed "Inequality Matters" found a wide and
appreciative audience among those who see growing inequality as a
"toxic state of affairs" ("Sojourners") that imperils the health of
the United States. Inequality is, many believe, the single most
important domestic issue we face.
"Inequality Matters" includes a range of progressives, activists,
writers, and academics--among them Barbara Ehrenreich, Christopher
Jencks, Meizhu Lui, David Cay Johnston, and Jim Wallis--whose
nuanced and sharply argued essays do much to illuminate the growing
divergence between the haves and the can't haves. Called
"excellent" by the "New York Review of Books, Inequality Matters"
paints a readable and crucial portrait of the widening wealth and
opportunity gaps while we drift, as Lardner writes, "toward a Third
World-like distribution of our riches."
