Reviews

'[A] book that should be read widely, even by economists specializing in general issues in the US economy. ... The book provides a template for mapping the position of other marginalized groups in the US economy, and its focus on stratification economics can help a wide range of people see their own abundance.' Larry Chavis, Journal of Economics, Race, and Policy
