Reviews for Inequality, Democracy, and the Environment
Downey presents important perspectives about inequality, militarism, and democracy. This important addition to the environment sociology literature should promote serious consideration of the macrostructuralist approach to social problems in general.-CHOICE It is very well written. More importantly, it illuminates the centrality of elite-controlled mechanisms. -Political Science Quarterly
