Wealth is distributed more unequally in the United States today than at any time since the twenties. Does it matter? The authors of the The Wealth Inequality Reader answer this question with a resounding yes. In the thoroughly revised and expanded second edition, thirty-eight substantive, engaging essays explore the hidden vector of welath inequality: its causes, its consequences, and strategies for change. Plus, an illustrated overview offers the latest statistics on wealth inequality in a series of one-page snapshots. The essential reader on wealth inequality, this book is a must-have for both activists and scholars. Preface by Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
