Inequality And American Democracy What We Know And What We Need To Learn

"In Inequality and American Democracy, editors Lawrence R. Jacobs and Theda Skocpol headline a distinguished group of political scientists in assessing whether rising economic inequality now threatens hard-won victories in the long struggle to achieve political equality in the United States." "Most Americans accept that the vagaries of the economy will produce some financial inequality, but also expect American democracy to guarantee equality of citizens, regardless of class. Inequality and American Democracy tackles the complex relationships between economic, social, and political inequality with authoritative insight, showcases a new generation of critical studies of American democracy, and highlights an issue of growing concern for the future of our democratic society."--BOOK JACKET.Jacobs, Lawrence R. is the author of 'Inequality And American Democracy What We Know And What We Need To Learn', published 2005 under ISBN 9780871544131 and ISBN 087154413X.
