The economics of poverty and discrimination

About this book

Revolutionary changes in public policy have given a sense of urgency to this seventh edition of The Economics of Poverty and Discrimination. As in earlier editions the text offers a structured systematic analysis of poverty inequality and discrimination. Although economic theory provides a foundation the text draws extensively from sociology political science anthropology psychology and law. Using this multidisciplinary approach Bradley R. Schiller begins with a conceptual discussion of poverty and inequality proceeds to an empirical description of both phenomena and then offers chapter-length discussions of various causes and cures.
