Through composite case studies, a three-nation comparison, and a detailed year-by-year model, author Robert F. Geissler shows why the fastest-sounding path to equality is so rarely the path that lasts - and what genuinely durable change would actually require.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rigorous, accessible, and even-handed exploration of money, institutions, and human behavior, for readers of \u003ci\u003eFreakonomics\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePoor Economics\u003c\/i\u003e, and anyone who has ever wondered what they'd really do with a $65,000 check.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Geissler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798190304893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.34d","brand":"Robert Geissler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50666072473855,"sku":"9798190304893","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-equalization-robert-geissler-9798190304893","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
