This advanced reader on social stratification and inequality is part of a three-volume series (which also includes an introductory
reader and a compilation of classic readings). The classic and contemporary articles collected here are edited for student readability
and represent various disciplines, such as sociology, political science, psychology, and economics. The readings describe theories,
models, and empirical research using quantitative, ethnographic, experimental, and comparative perspectives. They are grouped in
10 sections on functions of inequality, the structure of inequality, elites and the upper class, poverty and the underclass, class
mobility, race and ethnicity, gender inequality, consequences of inequality, and the future. For this fourth edition, about 40 percent of
the 132 selections are new; the new readings reflect the increasing multidisciplinarity of the study of inequality, and also reflect rapid
changes in the structure of inequality itself. A companion web site presents recent data, news, and research on poverty and
inequality. Other online resources include a Facebook page, a Twitter feed, and an online course offered via Coursera. (Ringgold,
