Yet in America and other democratic nations, those with political power have special access to markets and public services. \u003cem\u003eA Republic of Equals\u003c\/em\u003e traces the massive income inequality observed in the United States and other rich democracies to politicised markets and avoidable gaps in opportunity—and explains why they are the root cause of what ails democracy today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this provocative book, economist Jonathan Rothwell draws on the latest empirical evidence from across the social sciences to demonstrate how rich democracies have allowed racial politics and the interests of those at the top to subordinate justice. He examines the rise of nationalism in Europe and the United States, revealing how this trend overlaps with racial prejudice and is related to mounting frustration with a political status quo that thrives on income inequality and inefficient markets. But economic differences are by no means inevitable. Differences in group status by race and ethnicity are dynamic and have reversed themselves across continents and within countries. Inequalities persist between races in the United States because Black Americans are denied equal access to markets and public services. Meanwhile, elite professional associations carve out privileged market status for their members, leading to compensation in excess of their skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Republic of Equals\u003c\/em\u003e provides a bold new perspective on how to foster greater political and social equality, while moving societies closer to what a true republic should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46830122926316,"sku":"9780691206431","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2051453482434.jpg?v=1758274784"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/jonathan-rothwell.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
