It is common that in market systems people choose their own individual economic destinies, but of course the choices people make are importantly determined by the alternatives available to them: unequal opportunity is the critical determinant of economic disparities. This begs the question; from where do the vast inequalities of opportunity arise? This book theorizes that power and social class are the real crux of economic inequality.Most of mainstream econo 410 0$aRoutledge frontiers of political economy ;$v140. 606 $aSocial classes$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aEquality$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial classes$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aEquality$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aPower (Social sciences)$xEconomic aspects 676 $a305.5/10973 700 $aSchutz$b Eric A.$f1947-,$0933446 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461346403321 996 $aInequality and power$92101370 997 $aUNINA
