facts of economics.social and political actual facts of economics. Economic , social and political

inequality his analysis of the way in which such discrepancies are provoked and sustained  is

borne out by a national  sample survey in which people were asked such questions as. What do they mean  by the class to which they  assign themselves ,what do they think the government should be doing for people like themselves . do they disapprove of other sorts of  people whom they see as doing better.
