The must-have new edition of the classic book-and-poster set, based on the most recent census data, is a powerful tool for understanding the magnitude of America's growing economic divide. Originally published in 1979, this eighth edition has been completely updated to provide a clear picture of the U.S. social structure and the considerable demographic and economic changes of the past four decades.
Folded inside the companion booklet, the removable poster depicts color-coded figures that make it possible to compare social groups at a glance and to understand how income distribution relates to race, sex, education, and occupation. With charts and careful explanations, the booklet contextualizes and expands on the poster.
Roses's graphic depiction of the census data is a unique and valuable resource for understanding complex concepts such as the way recent economic growth has been skewed toward the wealthiest households, the gender gap in the workplace, and the persistent income disparities between African Americans and Latinos. This new edition of a uniquely visual depiction of American society will be an essential resource and a touchstone for the current debates over education, inequality, poverty, and jobs in our country.
In conclusion, the book-and-poster set is a must-have for anyone interested in understanding the economic and social dynamics of America. With its updated data and visual representation, it provides a clear and concise way to explore the complex issues facing our society today.
