This accessible overview of economic theory launches this investigation\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe COVID-19 pandemic exposed the economic inequalities pervading every aspect of society-- and then multiplied them to a staggering degree. A mere nine months into the lockdown, the net worth of the infamous Forbes 400 increased by one trillion dollars; In a single year the US poverty rate rose by the largest amount ever since record-keeping began sixty years ago. At the same time, mass unemployment imperiled or erased the fragile right to quality health care for a substantial number of people living in states without Medicaid. In \u003ci\u003eInequality, Class, and Economics, \u003c\/i\u003e Eric Schutz illumines the pillars undergirding the monstrous polarities which define our times-- and reveals them as the very same structures of power at the foundations of the class system under today's capitalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEmploying both traditional and novel approaches to public policy, \u003ci\u003e Inequality, Class, and Economics \u003c\/i\u003eoffers prescriptions that can genuinely address the steepening and hardening of class boundaries. This book pushes past economists' studied avoidance of the problem of class as a system of inequality based in unequal opportunity, and exhorts us to tackle the heart of the problem at long last.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Schutz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1583679421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781583679425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Monthly Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2023","brand":"Eric Schutz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944688943359,"sku":"9781583679425","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b97f86c0-1747-4150-a23f-ee1cf6292931.jpg?v=1681504708","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/inequality-class-and-economics-eric-schutz-9781583679425","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
