Inequality and Society Reader

Inequality and Society is the perfect choice for courses on inequality, Manza and Sauder have put together the best collection of readings that represent the essential classics on inequality from the early days of sociology, as well as, often overlooked recent contributions from today's sociologists. In addition, Manza and Sauder have put together the only reader that emphasizes political inequality and its intersections with social stratification systems.

Only inequality reader to highlight political inequality:

• In addition to including readings on poverty and inequality, Manza and Sauder created a reader that examines the often neglected relationship between inequality and political institutions. Editors highlight the role of politics, and a political analysis of inequality, alongside questions that more conventional social science approaches to studying stratification systems have answered.

Strikes the perfect balance between classic readings and contemporary research:

• In addition to incorporating more political sociology, Manza and Sauder’s goal was to place research on inequality in a historical context, since these early theoretical ideas provide the departure point for current scholarship. At the same time, however, much intellectual progress has been made in the past half-century. Manza and Sauder provide contemporary research by including exciting new selections from sociologists such as Dalton Conley, Rebecca Kantor, Alba and Nee, Leslie McCall, and Amartya Sen.
