Urban areas had much higher death rates in the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic than non-metropolitan areas. Although these gaps decreased as the pandemic spread across the country, the effects of the virus may continue to be more salient in higher density areas. Residents of higher-income and whiter neighborhoods in New York City, for example, were more likely to leave the city early on, raising the question of whether temporary moves might become permanent resettlement patterns.

Research shows that the federal government often privileges the interests of affluent Americans and businesses over those of ordinary Americans. When government enacts legislation that benefits the privileged, it often exacerbates existing economic inequalities. Why the wealthy and organized business groups are more likely to get their way from government remains unclear.

About This Book

The work which this book describes had its beginning in the year 1949 when the Russell Sage Foundation and the Jewish Board of Guardians entered into an agreement to conduct a joint project to explore whether cooperation between social scientists and clinicians in child guidance practice could prove to be of mutual benefit. Specifically, it aimed to investigate the contribution potential of the existing funds of social science knowledge to child guidance practice, as well as the research needs encountered by child guidance workers which could be met by social scientists.
