"This edited volume provides an interesting and novel depiction of current socioeconomic inequality features, mechanisms and dynamics in Israeli society. The editors have very carefully and adequately tailored the various chapters to cover some of the most pressing issues in Israeli society as well as emerging issues in the study of socioeconomic inequality, more generally." - Meir Yaish, Chair of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, University of Haifa, Israel
