CONCLUSION

This chapter reveals that the US is far from a nation that can be defined as offering its citizens equal opportunity for economic success. Given that blacks and Native Americans (the data contained herein for the latter is somewhat more limited) have been in the country since before its founding, and since they continue to lag behind whites and others in the society, they offer vivid testimony of the continuing impact of what Tilly has called durable inequality. Income disparities persist, while the huge disparities in wealth distribution reveal the economic precariousness of most racial minorities. Moreover, as a substantial section of the chapter documents, income and wealth inequalities have profound implications for all facets of people's lives, from where they live and go to school to what sorts of jobs they are likely to have, to their health and well-being.
