Amartya Sen "Equality," I spoke the word As if a wedding vow Ah,
but I was so much older then, I am younger than that now. Thus sang
Bob Dylan in 1964. Approbation of equality varies not only with our
age (though it is not absolutely clear in which direction the
values may shift over one's life time), but also with the spirit of
the times. The 1960s were good years for singing in praise of
equality. The spirit of the present times would probably be better
reflected by melodies in admiration of the Federal Reserve System.
And yet the technical literature on the evaluation and measurement
of economic inequality has grown remarkably over the last three
decades. Even as actual economic policies (especially in North
America and Europe) have tended to move towards focusing on virtues
other than the avoidance of economic inequality, the professional
literature on assessing and gauging economic inequality has taken
quite a jump forward. A great many different problems have been
addressed and effectively sorted out, and new problems continue to
be posed and analyzed. The Contents: A Review Jacques Silber has
done a great service to the subject by producing this collection of
admirablyhelpful and illuminating papers on different aspects of
the measurement of income inequality. The reach of this collection
is quite remarkable. Along with a thorough overview from the editor
himself, the major areas in this complex field have been carefully
examined and accessibly discussed.
