‘Séamus Power integrates research and theory from an astonishing array of disciplines and methodologies to offer a unique, provocative viewpoint on the origins and consequences of inequality.’ Michael Norton, Harold M. Brierley Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School
‘The rich are getting richer. What about the rest of us? In this enlightening volume, Power critically analyzes two contrasting narratives to share a unique perspective on economic inequality and its psychological underpinnings.
