About this audiobook
Inequality and Opportunity by Harper Northwood delves into the intricate landscape of national equity indices, like the Gini coefficient, to uncover the deeper truths about income disparity and opportunity in the United States. This insightful book challenges conventional wisdom, arguing that simple redistribution policies miss the mark. Instead, Northwood emphasizes the need for fundamental changes in education, tax policies, and institutional structures. Through a comparative analysis with other nations, the author highlights the complexities of opportunity barriers and the role of non-cognitive skills in economic mobility. With the U.S. facing unprecedented levels of inequality, this book is a timely exploration of the policies and cultural values that can truly foster a more equitable society. Inequality and Opportunity is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding and addressing the root causes of economic disparities.
