Abstract "In recent years, analysts have pointed to rising inequality in the U.S. as an underlying factor in both our social fragmentation and economic underperformance. This book argues for the possibility of "just growth" -- a framework in which the imperatives of equity have been coupled with strategies to shore up the economy -- and suggests that much can be learned from efforts to couple prosperity and inclusion at a metropolitan or regional level in the United States." -- Back cover.
