"The Wealth Inequality Reader is a wonderful resource and a marvelous teaching tool. It should be required reading for students of economics and politics. Indeed, it should be required reading for anyone who aspires to understand the basics of the US economy. I recommend it with enthusiasm." —TIM KOECHLIN, Vassar College

"My students in Social Inequality were pleasantly surprised at The Wealth Inequality Reader. Most were expecting dry and dusty traditional texts. They were also impressed with the timeliness of the articles, and the emphasis on wealth, rather than income."
