Summary: "It is our thesis that both the economic system and its laws and institutions favor people with large incomes....Its approach is somewhat unconventional in that we identify the wealthy in terms of their incomes rather than their assets....[This book] is intended for both the intelligent layman and the student in an introductory course in economics, political science, or sociology. It tries to counter the biases introduced by many economists in discussions of how income is determined in a market economy; it also attempts to make economics more relevant to the issues of the seventies." --From the Introduction
