| Abstract | "In this landmark volume, Greg J. Duncan and Richard J. Murnane lay out a meticulously researched case showing how-in a time of spiraling inequality-strategically targeted interventions and supports can help schools significantly improve the life chances of low-income children. A crowning contribution from these two leading economists in the field of education and a passionate call to action on behalf of the young people on whom our nation's future depends."-- cover |
