In this section, we document materials that help understand how politics is deeply implicated in the growth and reproduction of inequality. At the heart of politics is the question of power: Who can tell others what to do and how? In the contemporary U.S. the deep inequalities in power seem to be pushing the country toward a political cul de sac of plutocratic access to the highest spheres of government, and toward a deeply polarized conception of solutions and problems facing us. We attempt to provide resources that explore the relationship of politics and power to economic and social inequality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FEATURED RESOURCES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Books, Reports, and Scholarly Publications&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Ahlquist, John S. 2017. \u201cLabor Unions, Political Representation, and Economic Inequality.\u201d <em>Annual Review of Political Science<\/em> 20(1): 409\u201332. http:\/\/www.annualreviews.org\/doi\/10.1146\/annurev-polisci-051215-023225.<\/li><li>Andrain, Charles F. 2014. <em>Political Power and Economic Inequality: A Comparative Policy Approach<\/em>.
