Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. First Edition (Number Line to 1). This book was previously owned by the renowned sociologist Daniel Bell. He signed his name on the first front end paper. He took very good care of the book. It is in excellent condition. The black covers are exceptionally clean. The red and gilt lettering on the spine is very bright. The covers edges look terrific. So do the corners. The spine ends have only a little bit of crinkling. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any soiling. I'm also not seeing any conspicuous creasing, a handful of consecutive pages have a teeny tiny crease just above the tip of their bottom corners, nothing much of anything. There are no markings in the book. There are no attachments. And Daniel Bell's signature is the only writing to be found anywhere. Part of the front inside cover and most of the signed front end paper have a lightly tanned area, looks like some paper must've been left sitting inside there. I've rated the dust jacket only Good because it has a thin tear coming up from the rear bottom edge. The tear connects to a scratch-shaped crease and at the bottom of it there is a small scuff (you can see this in the fourth photo). There's also a little wear at the top edge of the spine, a little color loss there, a teeny tiny tear. There's a small tear off the top edge of the rear cover as well. The jacket looks pretty clean. The flaps as well. They are in good shape. The jacket is NOT price-clipped. I have it in a fitted protective cover. From the dust jacket : 'Christopher Jencks' Inequality is a landmark in social and educational thought in America-- for it presents the evidence to overturn the most cherished assumptions of liberal reform in our society. Jencks and his associates challenge much of contemporary social policy with these startling conclusions: educational reform cannot bring about economic or social equality; genes and IQ scores have relatively little effect on economic success; and school quality has little effect on achievement or on economic success.' I feel I need to say 'what'? The authors 'conclude that even if the schools could be reformed to ensure that every child received an equally good education, adult society would hardly be more equal than it is now. If we really want to achieve equality in America, we must be willing to undertake far more fundamental social and economic changes than school reforms.'.…
