From the extraordinary wealth of its empirical material to the breadth of its cultural scope, and from the rare alliance of statistical precision and literary references to the level of its intellectual and political ambition, there is much to commend in this remarkable book.įrom a policy standpoint, however, its last part, where the author offers an agenda to promote social fairness, deserves the most thorough discussion.
