内容説明
Much has been written in recent years about the growing gap between rich and poor in America. Although alarming to many, it is impossible to judge whether any income distribution is good or bad without knowing what produced it. Adapted in part from the "Opportunity in America" series of policy briefs, this volume goes beyond the statistics of inequality to focus on the fundamental processes that influence who succeeds and who fails. The authors examine income mobility within and between generations, the oft-discussed "underclass, " and the influence of education and family background on income level. They look at how American philosophy and public policy has affected the gap, and the implications of these factors in attempts to open up opportunities for the less fortunate.

内容説明
Adapted in part from the "Opportunity in America" series of policy briefs, this volume focuses on social and economic mobility in the United States. Class or family background has a strong effect on individual success, the authors find. They examine the possible reasons for this relationship; how it has changed over the past century; and the role of the economy, the welfare system, and education in opening up opportunities for the less fortunate.
