Inequality in the US and Europe (with Michèle Lamont, Peter A. Hall, and Paul Pierson) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Despite the decline in global poverty rates over the past five or six decades, the gap between the rich and the poor continues to grow ever wider, especially in the industrialized West. Three scholars—Michèle Lamont, Peter A. Hall, and Paul Pierson—discuss how housing and education systems can actually reinforce inequality, and who in our society is seen as “deserving” of getting help, or not, and how that has changed over time.
