Average Course Rating

(-1)

What explains inequality? Why are some poor, while others are so wealthy? How is status and wealth transferred inter-generationally? To what degree is inequality a consequence of the attributes and skills of individuals, as compared to structural features of the societies in which they are embedded? This course will approach this problem cross-temporally and cross-nationally, using tools from economics, sociology, history, and political science.
