8. Hurst, C.E. (2013) <i>Social inequality: forms, causes, and consequences</i>. 8th ed. Boston, Pearson. While social inequality often deals with access to wealth, social inequality can also be related to race, prejudices, access to power, gender, sexual orientation, and other factors. Historically, these factors have been present, but often less investigated and how societies develop laws or social customs that often have prohibited a large number of people from having equal access to social resources or even status in society.
9.Joseph S. Tulchin & Amelia Brown (eds.) (2002) <i>Democratic governance and social inequality</i>. Boulder, L. Rienner Publishers. In more recent history, democracies have spread globally. However, in many of these democracies, large and widespread social inequality is evident. How modern states address social inequality often also means these states must address the development of social inequality from the past, such as class, gender, and race and other forms that have historical roots.
