Abstract
Effectively maintained inequality (EMI) was proposed as a general theory of inequality,
but the theory flows from a decades-long tradition of studying social background
effects on educational attainment. After an orienting discussion of several historic
challenges of the study of social background effects on educational inequality,
proposed and adopted solutions to those challenges, and subsequent critiques of
those solutions, we offer and justify seven principles that, if followed, produce a solid
assessment of EMI. After conveying the seventh principle, two illustrative ways in
which EMI addresses historic challenges with studying inequality are conveyed.
