And why does inequality matter anyway?In Battlers and Billionaires, Andrew Leigh weaves together vivid anecdotes, interesting history and powerful statistics to tell the story of inequality in this country. This is economics writing at its best. From egalitarian beginnings, Australian inequality rose through the nineteenth century. Then we became more equal again, with inequality falling markedly from the 1920's to the 1970's. Now, inequality is returning to the heights of the 1920's. Leigh shows that while inequality can fuel growth, it also poses dangers to society.RedbackEqualityAustraliaSocial classesAustraliaIncome distributionAustraliaAustraliaSocial conditionsElectronic books.EqualitySocial classesIncome distribution309.194Leigh Andrew252389MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464480203321Battlers & billionaires1988509UNINA01296nam 2200373Ka 450 991069767840332120081006101254.0(CKB)5470000002390176(OCoLC)260326740(EXLCZ)99547000000239017620081006d2000 ua 0engtxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierLiterature reviewd on vehicle travel speeds and pedestrian injuries[electronic resource]Washington, DC :U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,[2000]1 volume digital, HTML fileTraffic safety facts.

Interweaving vivid portraits of day-to-day school life with clear and evenhanded analysis, Patrick J. McCloskey takes us through an eventful year at Rice High School, as staff, students, and families make heroic efforts to prevail against society's expectations. McCloskey's riveting narrative brings into sharp relief an urgent public policy question: whether (and how) to save these schools that provide the only viable option for thousands of poor and working-class students-and thus fulfill a crucial public mandate. Just as significantly, The Street Stops Here offers invaluable lessons for low-performing urban public schools.Catholic high schoolsNew York (State)New YorkAfrican AmericansEducation (Secondary)New York (State)New YorkMinoritiesEducation (Secondary)New York (State)New YorkHarlem (New York, N.Y.)academics.african american education.african american men.american education system.catholic education.catholic schools.catholicism.central harlem.christianity.education reform.education.harlem.high school.poor students.poverty.public mandate.public policy.religious education.rice high school.school setting.school.social expectations.students and schools.students and teachers.united states of america.urban areas.urban public school.urban school districts.welfare.working class students.Catholic high schoolsAfrican AmericansEducation (Secondary)MinoritiesEducation (Secondary)371.071/27471McCloskey Patrick1535292MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788999803321The street stops here3783414UNINA
