PBPL 84.04 Inequality and American Democracy
Inequality – economic, political, and social – is among the most pressing and contentious issues of our time. What forms of inequality should we care about? How much is too much, or too little? What are inequality’s causes and consequences, which dimensions should be addressed, and how? We examine inequalities of income and wealth, political representation, education, incarceration, health, race, gender, and the future of work, ranging from philosophical and historical foundations to contemporary politics and policy.
