About this title

Synopsis

After all the gains of the civil rights and women's movements, why are black people and women still faring so poorly when it comes to wages, employment levels, and the distribution of jobs? Unlevel Playing Fields tackles this critical question by presenting two contrasting economic theories -- neoclassical and political economy -- and showing how each theory explains discrimination and inequality in the labor market. Each chapter concludes with discussion questions and suggested readings. The authors also offer some practical proposals for altering the status quo.

The authors of Unlevel Playing Fields all received their graduate training in economics at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

Drago is Professor of Labor Studies and Women's Studies at The Pennsylvania State University, and moderates the Work/Family newsgroup on the internet .
