"Don't be fooled by globalization's noisy naysayers or proponents,
who invoke the rise or decline of 'global inequality' to make their
case. Here, in the first comprehensive look at inequality across
the world's individuals as well as the world's nations, are laid
out the many definitions of global inequality, and comprehensive,
evidence-based analysis about the course of global inequality,
variously defined, before and during our globalization era."--Nancy
Birdsall, founding President of the Center for Global Development
""Worlds Apart" is a real tour de force. It presents a new
interpretation of trends in the distribution of income among the
world's countries and individuals, and makes a strong argument that
global income inequality can be and should be reduced. In this
emerging issue area of international politics it will become a
standard reference."--Robert Hunter Wade, London School of
Economics
"Branko Milanovic's painstaking work takes us closest to a
global understanding of income disparities at the present time.
Among many other things, his work underscores that while national
level income disparities are often obscene, international
differences account for much more of the even more obscene level of
global income inequality."--Jomo K. S., Assistant Secretary General
for Economic Development, United Nations
"A fascinating read. This book is a helpful primer to help you
find your way around the complex debates surrounding global
inequality. It is also a forceful demonstration that the world
economy remains much too unequal."--Dani Rodrik, Harvard
University
"An important book by a master of the relevant data. Milanovic
provides hard answers to toughquestions."--Samuel Bowles, Santa Fe
Institute, author of "Microeconomics: Behavior, Institutions, and
Evolution"
"This is a very good book on a timely and much debated topic.
Unlike many economists who write about global poverty and
inequality, its author is genuinely open and fair-minded, exploring
alternative ways of selecting and processing the available data so
as to get robust results that make sense. Milanovic writes about
economics in a way that is clear and engaging and fully accessible
to nonspecialists, which is very rare indeed. This book has what it
takes to be widely used in classrooms and among journalists,
politicians, and diplomats."--Thomas Pogge, Columbia University and
CAPPE, ANU
