“A high-functioning society must balance ability with a shared sense of fairness.”
— Frank Newport, Ph.D.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Rethinking Inequity goes beyond conventional thinking to explore one of society’s most pressing challenges — how to balance performance, opportunity, and fairness.
Using decades of research in sociology and public opinion, Rethinking Inequity presents a fresh framework for understanding how societies function, how inequity is measure, and how perceptions of fairness shape outcomes.
