At the end of Unequal Democracy (p. 303, first edition), Larry Bartels writes:
Imperfect as they are, the processes and institutions of American democracy provide us
with consequential choices. We can reinforce the levees; we can divert some of the
fastest-running waters; and we can insist that the most vulnerable among us not be
abandoned when the affluent flee to hire ground.
We can make these choices. Whether we will remains to be seen.
Reflect on Bartels’ conclusion. In what ways are American institutions well-equipped and poorly-equipped to fight against the tides of rising inequality? Is fighting inequality simply a matter of conjuring the political will to do so, or are there other obstacles? Is inequality actually just the norm in the United States or in the eyes of the American people or do there
exist ways to attempt to slow or reverse inequality? Be sure to use examples of policies that exacerbate or
ameliorate inequality throughout your paper in order to support your arguments.

You must produce a written report
that addresses all of the required elements listed above, not a series of bullet points or something that does
not resemble a cogent paper. Your paper must have a clear argument that you will support with evidence
throughout your writing. You should also anticipate potential objections to your argument and explain
why your argument is still strong in spite of them.
Your paper must be between 1000 and 1500 words in length (excluding references and any supplemental
materials) and must use APSA citation format.You must cite any and all sources you rely upon for your memo. Academic dishonesty of any form will not be tolerated.
You should assume that your audience is a group of intelligent and well-intentioned policymakers who
have not taken this course. Please write clearly without jargon or filler. The most successful papers will
have clear arguments, be very well-organized and well-written, and be rich with specific details,
supporting evidence (particularly from the course materials), and examples.
