SOC 116: Inequality & Public Policy Units: 4
Explores economic inequality in America. From Occupy Wall Street to the Bernie Sanders movement, there has been rising anger against big banks and Wall Street financiers over economic inequality in America. But is finance really to blame? Political sociology and economic sociology is used to ask how the growing power of finance relates to longstanding inequalities across racial, gender, and class in the U.S. Potential public policy solutions to these inequalities are explored.
