Description

Examining the concept and social phenomenon of discrimination from economic and sociological perspectives, this text brings together the work of a wide range of sociologists and economists and provides a spectrum of methodological and ideological views on this topic. The breadth of topics and approaches offered include classical Marxist ideas on rivalry among entrepreneurs and among ethnic groups, to neo-classical supply-side and human capital factors, as well as demand-side factors such as efficiency wage theories and organizational inertia.
