Abstract

topic (Sands, 2017). Overall, The Economic Other provides a new social-psychological and innovative understanding of Americans’ subdued reaction to inequality. It employs rigorous survey experiments as well as an in-depth review of the literature, open-ended responses, and media coverage of the wealthy. In fact, the detailed, qualitative analysis of how Americans describe their imagined relationship with the economic other in Chapters 4 and 5 is one of the most fascinating parts to read. In America, economic inequality has always been inextricably linked to racial inequality. The book will motivate race, ethnicity, and politics scholars to better understand the intersection of class, race, and gender.
