Too often inequality is considered only in terms of incomes. This book, written by some of the best researchers in the field, expands the economic perspective to include consumption, time, and participation. And it focuses on specific groups for which inequality is a compelling issue: kids, women, and ethnic groups. Its multidimensional perspective on inequality in Canada is so successful that it could be a model for future attempts in other countries. - Barbara Boyle Torrey, co-editor of The Vulnerable
