What is global inequality? How can it be measured? What are the
major trends and patterns? What are the implications of global
inequality for the world economy and multilateral governance? What
role does and should inequality play in national and international
policy-making?
In this comprehensive overview, the authors address these key
questions. They examine the major issues that need to be confronted
in conceptualizing, measuring and analysing contemporary patterns
of global inequality. In addition, they explore the implications of
these patterns for politics and public policy. In explaining the
complex global patterns of social stratification, they highlight an
intensive debate about whether and to what extent inequality
matters. The book also addresses this debate, and seeks to set out
the major alternative positions.
The book's authors include many of the most distinguished
figures in the field, including David Dollar, G?sta
Esping-Andersen, Nancy Fraser, James K. Galbraith, Ravi Kanbur,
Branko Milanovic, Thomas W. Pogge, Bob Sutcliffe, Grahame F.
Thompson, Anthony J. Venables, and Robert H. Wade.
This book will be of great interest to students in politics,
sociology and international relations as well as to all those
interested in this key topic.
