Abstract
Written by a former tenure-track community college faculty member and current community college administrator, this chapter offers the reader a different perspective on teaching inequality and capitalism based upon the type of higher education institution. Having taught at two community colleges, a private four-year university, and a public research university, the author discovered that the challenges of teaching the topic were very different depending on the type of institution. Readers of this essay will come away with valuable insight into the different approaches employed in teaching inequality and capitalism as a dependent function of the type of institution where it is taught.
