Books Descriptions
Discrimination and Disparities challenges believers in such one-factor explanations of
economic outcome differences as discrimination, exploitation or genetics. It is
readable enough for people with no prior knowledge of economics. Yet the empirical
evidence with which it backs up its analysis spans the globe and challenges beliefs
across the ideological spectrum.The point of Discrimination and Disparities is not to
recommend some particular policy "fix" at the end, but to clarify why so many policy
fixes have turned out to be counterproductive, and to expose some seemingly
invincible fallacies behind many counterproductive policies.The final chapter deals
with social visions and their human consequences.
