INEQUALITY BY DESIGN: CRACKING THE BELL CURVE MYTH
Michael Hout, University of California-Berkeley
Abstract: The inequality of incomes and earnings in the United States has
grown dramatically since 1974. Economists and sociologists have invoked
changes in the characteristics of individuals, labor markets, and
technological change as explanations for the trends in inequality. I review
the strengths and weaknesses of these competing explanations and assess
their plausibility.
