Recent decades have shown significantly high and increasing degrees of income and wealth inequality within the United States. An understanding of the true extent, causes, and consequences of this inequality is vital to formulating effective policies. In this course, we will focus on an understanding of the causes and the dangerous repercussions of this inequality. We will also emphasize the study of and the results from assessing the role of discrimination in this problem. Finally, we will examine a recent Boston Globe series on the significantly pervasive racism in Boston. We shall review that series as a case study. During the course, students will learn a significant amount of basic economics, some statistical concepts, a focused view on making public policy, and, finally, the case study of Boston. - Clark Ross, Frontis W. Johnston Professor of Economics; Ph.D. Boston College; B.A. University of Pennsylvania
