This collection demonstrates that the social divides that people construct and the behavioral differences they foster are lawful in their origins and their effects. The articles provide examples of how these social differences can be systematically measured and manipulated in pursuit of a comprehensive science of inequality. In combination, the papers in the volume reveals that 1), an individual is a constituent part of a multilayered dynamic of ideas, institutions, interactions, and individuals that fuels inequality, and 2), that this dynamic could be reverse‐engineered to reduce this inequality.
