▼a Inequality, class, and economics /
▼d Eric Schutz
▼a New York :
▼b Monthly Review Press,
▼c 2022
▼a 311 p. :
▼b illustrations ;
▼c 21 cm
▼a Includes bibliographical references (pages 254-298) and index
▼a The crisis underlying all other crises -- Economic fantasies -- Capitalism and opportunity -- Power and class in capitalism -- Realities of class today -- Business and politics in the real world -- Capitalist culture -- More inequality, less flourishing -- Economy, community, biosphere -- What could be done? What can be done?
▼a "The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the economic inequalities pervading every aspect of society - and then multiplied them to a staggering degree. In Inequality, Class, and Economics, Eric Schutz illuminates the pillars undergirding the monstrous polarities which define our times revealing them as the structures of power that constitute the foundations of the class system of today's capitalism. Employers' power is the linchpin of that system, but the power of professionals in all fields, the power exerted by some businesses over others, political power, and the power of cultural institutions - especially mass media and education - are also critical for the class system today. Each of these social power structures is examined closely and shown both to sustain, and to be sustained by, economic inequality. Employing both traditional and novel approaches to public policy, Inequality, Class, and Economics denounces economists' studied avoidance of the problem of class as a system of inequality based in unequal opportunity, and exhorts us to tackle the heart of the problem at long last."--Back cover
