description: Designed as a short,topical,issues-oriented supplement for any course covering discrimination or diversity (including Economics,Women's Studies,Race and Gender Studies,Sociology,and Public Policy),this innovative text provides an accessible,interdisciplinary presentation of labor market discrimination. Theoretical coverage is richly illustrated with interesting real-world examples which demonstrate key points and generate student interest and understanding. Specific coverage of neo-classical and political economics provided in the early chapters of the book can easily be omitted for courses outside of Economics departments. A lively enjoyable read.
