This accessible overview of economic theory launches this investigation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eric Schutz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48090488307963,"sku":"9781583679432","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_0584db9c-20be-41ee-96a0-8f8c4df44ec7.jpg?v=1770444151","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/inequality-class-and-economics-9781583679432","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
