{"product_id":"discrimination-and-disparities-1","title":"Discrimination and Disparities","description":"An empirical examination of how economic and other disparities arise\nEconomic and other outcomes differ vastly among individuals, groups, and nations. Many explanations have been offered for the differences. Some believe that those with less fortunate outcomes are victims of genetics. Others believe that those who are less fortunate are victims of the more fortunate.\n\nDiscrimination and Disparities gathers a wide array of empirical evidence from to challenge the idea that different economic outcomes can be explained by any one factor, be it discrimination, exploitation or genetics.\n\nIt 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.\n\nThe 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 154164560X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.154164560X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sowell, Thomas\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
