The Inequality Machine by Paul Tough
How College Divides Us
It argues that American schooling and related institutions function less as engines of equal opportunity than as mechanisms that sort and amplify advantage—through early tracking, uneven funding, standardized testing, the growing tutoring/enrichment industry, and selective college admissions. Drawing on research and vivid case studies, the book shows how modest differences in family resources become large, lifelong gaps in opportunity and urges systemic reforms to break that cycle.
