Description

Book Synopsis
Features interdisciplinary research about aggregate wealth levels, portfolio compositions, and asset-ownership patterns. This collection discusses several conceptual issues, including gender and class; the political, historical, and socio-economic contexts and consequences of wealth inequalities; intra-group inequality; and more.

Trade Review
This book does an outstanding job of introducing readers to a host of interesting questions related to racial and ethnic minority status and wealth composition and accumulation. The chapters on wealth accumulation among Native Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans offer one of the few places where this information is readily available. The recent disaster in New Orleans has shown the nation that there is a strong interaction between wealth, race, and social outcomes. This book fills a void in understanding not only the black-white wealth inequality that was apparent after Hurricane Katrina, but it also provides great insight into the wealth status of other racial and ethnic minorities. - Patrick L. Mason, Department of Economics, Florida State University
