Many in our society have faced and continue to face unprecedented challenges. Specifically, the pandemic put a microscope on inequities such as racial disparities in housing, health care, and food insecurity, while revealing the cracks in our safety net, all of which resulted in a disproportionate impact of the pandemic on individuals with preexisting socioeconomic dis- advantages. Minorities in essential jobs, for example, were much more likely to get infected with COVID and die from it; and other margin- alized groups, such as illegal immigrants, were excluded from government assistance pro- grams. This special issue of The ANNALS focuses on how and where the COVID-19 pan- demic exacerbated preexisting inequalities in all these areas, as well as on potential strategies to address or at least mitigate them. Carol Graham is a senior fellow at Brookings, College Park Professor at University of Maryland, and a Gallup senior scientist. She is a world-recognized expert on well-being economics and has received awards for her pioneering research and for her books and publications in Science, Social Science and Medicine, and many other journals. Michal Grinstein-Weiss, a leading expert in asset build- ing and promoting policy solutions for socioeconomic mobility in the United States and internationally, is the Shanti Khinduka Distinguished Professor at the Brown School, director of the Social Policy Institute at Washington University in St. Louis, and a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
