Power is a broad and complex concept that cuts across all fields in
humanities and social sciences. Written by a leading historian of
economic thought, Power and Inequality presents a wide-ranging and
multi-disciplinary analysis of power as an economic and social
issue. Its aim is not to formulate a new abstract theory of power
but rather to illustrate the different ways in which power is used
to exacerbate social and economic inequality. Issues such as
division of labour and its evolution, different forms of capitalism
up to the money-manager economy, the role of networks (from the
family to mason lodges and the mafia), the state and the
international arena, culture and the role of the masses are
considered. The analysis of these elements, causing inequalities of
various kinds, is a prerequisite for devising progressive policy
strategies aiming at a reduction of inequalities through a strategy
of reforms.
