Bottlenecks
Book • 2013
Joseph Fishkin's 'Bottlenecks: A New Theory of Equal Opportunity' introduces a theory to address inequality by focusing on critical points of access to opportunity.
Fishkin argues that opportunity in America is restricted by a series of bottlenecks, or choke points, such as access to quality education, healthcare, and employment.
The book analyzes the legal and policy implications of these bottlenecks, proposing structural reforms to promote a more equitable society.
Through detailed case studies, Fishkin demonstrates how bottlenecks perpetuate inequality and hinder social mobility.
By identifying and addressing these bottlenecks, the book offers a new framework for understanding and achieving equal opportunity for all.
