In line with current affairs, the authors have expanded the content to include:An intersectional approach throughout the chaptersA stronger emphasis on the connections between poverty, wealth, and income inequalityNew case studies on the opioid epidemic, COVID-19, the lead poisoning crisis, and climate changeA new focus on the rise of right-wing movements.With additional content and classroom extensions available online for instructors, Social Inequality remains an ideal and invaluable overview of the subject and provides undergraduate students with a robust understanding of social inequality from a sociological perspective.
