Multiple Choice

Tilly identifies two mechanisms that produce "durable" inequality, exploitation and opportunity hoarding. What is the latter and how does it relate to exploitation?

• C) Those things people need, which can be determined by race and gender and what they will do anything for.
• D) Opportunity hoarding is the pool of jobs that can be held back and sold, much like in market capitalism, for anything a have wants from a have not.
