Reviews'As a social justice educator, I have long awaited a comprehensive textbook on poverty, wealth, and economic inequality. This text is not only truly comprehensive, it is also contemporary, inclusive, and intersectional. Beyond its utility as a resource for courses on social class, it also contains useful examples, measures, discussion questions, activities, and further resources for the classroom and beyond.' Ryan M. Pickering, Allegheny College, 'Belle and Bullock skillfully present the academic research demonstrating the profound consequences of economic and social inequality in the United States in a way that is highly accessible to undergraduates. Their section on solutions to inequality makes clear that change can happen and will leave students hungry for economic justice and primed for political action.' James Avery, Stockton University, 'This authoritative text has everything - complete and clear coverage of the thorny dilemmas of American inequality, readable prose, and appealing format - with all the right resources: glossary, further readings, exercises, debates, and lots of visuals. And our guides are two wise and prolific psychological scientists at the center of the field.' Susan Fiske, Princeton University

SynopsisThis textbook is among the first to examine poverty, wealth, and economic inequality from a psychological perspective. It provides an intersectional analysis of economic inequality and focuses on real-world solutions, while exercises and reflection questions encourage students think critically abwhat research findings imply for their own lives., Economic inequality is a defining issue of our time, with a handful of individuals in the United States today owning more wealth than half the population in the country. What are the psychological consequences of living in a profoundly unequal society? This comprehensive textbook is among the first to examine poverty, wealth, and economic inequality from a psychological perspective. Written by two leading scholars in the field, it provides an intersectional analysis of the impact of economic inequality on cognitive, emotional, interpersonal, intergroup, physiological, and health outcomes. Students are introduced to the diverse methods used to study poverty, wealth, and economic inequality and the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches, while the text focuses on solutions at the individual, community, and national levels to restore optimism and encourage action. Chapter features include exercises and reflection questions that help students think critically about the implications of research findings for their own lives.
