The American economy is in good shape: profits are soaring, employment is expanding, and technological advances abound. Yet inequality between genders among races still exists. In Complex Inequality, Leslie McCall sifts through the complexities surrounding wage differences and economic restructuring to provide an important new understanding of the differences gender, race and class make in equality. McCall's vision of inequality will offer a new way to approach and address the complexities of inequality.
