Description: "Updated throughout, this sixth edition of The American Class Structure in an Age of Growing Inequality focuses on change. Dennis Gilbert includes new data on topics such as the distribution of earnings and residential segregation by class to reveal a consistent pattern of growing inequality since the early 1970s. Why, Gilbert asks, is this happening? He examines changes in the economy, family life, and politics in search of an answer."--BOOK JACKET.
