Overview
An alternative framework for examining and explaining the widening economic and social stratification within United States society is provided in this book. Until now, two points of view - Marxist and industrialist - have dominated the discourse. Joel I Nelson offers a comprehensive explanation of inequality and locates its source in the transformation of capitalism, free market ideology and the evolution of US business.

Nelson (sociology, U. of Minnesota) locates the source of inequality and polarization within American society in the transformation of American business, describing the shifts in corporate resources and their use by the corporate sector, and the implications for inequality across the institutional spectrum. He demonstrates how corporate strategies have been used to intensify competition, effect greater political control, and widen the economic gap in America. Paper edition (unseen), $21.95.
