This authoritative reference work explores the factors driving the

well as the impact that this divide is having on U.S. culture,
politics, families, communities, and institutions. This reference
work provides an authoritative and comprehensive resource for both
students and scholars who are interested in learning more about the
rich-poor divide in the United States-a divide regarded by many
lawmakers, researchers, pundits, and concerned citizens as one of

issues frequently cited as factors contributing to the rapidly
widening gap between socioeconomic classes in the U.S., ranging
from such demographic factors as race and gender to tax code
provisions and differences in access to quality education and
health care. The book also provides both a retrospective and
prospective look at government policies aimed at addressing
inequality or assisting the poor. Finally, the book looks ahead to
survey the future of inequality in America. Coverage of more than
25 distinct factors contributing to the widening rich-poor divide
in the U.S. Evenhanded presentation of both progressive and
conservative perspectives on key economic issues Authoritative but
accessible entries that provide illumination and insights for
