Social Problems: Societal Crisis, Capitalism, and Democracy is an anthology that offers students a variety of readings on prominent social problems. The selections feature perspectives from those who have contributed to modern social problems, as well as those who have no power over shaping them. Through this unique approach, the text demonstrates that social problems are two-fold, benefiting some while creating obstacles for others.

The selected articles identify social problems, social inequalities, institutionalized inequalities, social and physical exploitation, the neglected, and violence and terrorism, not only in the U.S. but worldwide. Students are exposed to important discussions on social movement theories, how financial inequality negatively affects the world, and how individuals can get involved to correct the world's social problems. Throughout the text, readers are provided with historical context for each social problem addressed so they can deduce if these problems are as serious now as they were in the past.

In the second edition, all readings have been updated to reflect current socio-political events, and new readings on social media and fake news, media literacy, and the Black Lives Matter movement have been added. Additionally, all units feature a revised original introduction from the editor.

Social Problems is ideal for undergraduate courses in sociology and anthropology, as well as classes in cognate fields such as policy and political science.
