PULLMAN, Wash. - How do politics influence income inequality in the U.S.? How does rising income inequality affect American democracy? Will the 99 Percent Movement be successful in facilitating political change?

Faricy is a past recipient of the Midwest Political Science Association’s Pi Sigma Alpha Award and the James W. Prothro Award. He has authored numerous articles on the relationships among political parties, public policy and income inequality. Faricy’s current book manuscript is entitled, "The Great Political Divide: Republican vs. Democratic Social Spending in America.”
