1. Lifestyle Diversity and Economic Inequality
Forthcoming book: Lifestyle Explosion: The Clash of Lifestyle Diversity and Economic Inequality.
Lifestyle Explosion is intended to be a major, provocative entry in the debate on economic inequality and diversity that’s threaded through political conversations on all points of the political spectrum. It fingers lifestyle diversity as the key, controversial, and neglected cause of inequality in the USA and the world at large. Since well-meaning efforts to limit inequality almost inevitably end up limiting diversity, this book also delves into the troubling policy dilemmas at work when we promote both diversity and equality.
This book expands on the article:
The Dilemma of Equality and Diversity (Current Anthropology, 2014)
