Beskrivning
Economic and other outcomes differ vastly among individuals, groups, and nations. Many explanations have been offered for the differences. Some believe that those with less fortunate outcomes are victims of genetics. Others believe that those who are less fortunate are victims of the more fortunate.Discrimination and Disparities gathers a wide array of empirical evidence to challenge the idea that different economic outcomes can be explained by any one factor, be it discrimination, exploitation, or genetics. This revised and enlarged edition also analyzes the human consequences of the prevailing social vision of these disparities and the policies based on that vision--from educational disasters to widespread crime and violence.

En my ket intressant oc välskriven bok, konservativ och kritisk mot alla vänsterliberala popvärxeringar. Men den kritiska attityden får en särskild tyngd av att den 90-årige författaren inte bara är en kunnig nationalekonom utan också svart och sprungen ur fattiga förhållanden.
