First published in 1979, this fourth part of Principles of
Political Economy applies the tools of economic analysis to the
distribution of income and property. Professor Meade considers the
problems of making interpersonal comparisons of welfare and of
distinguishing between the efficiency and distributional aspects of
changes in social welfare. He analyses the possible criteria for
redistribution as between rich and poor members of the same
generation, as between present and future generations, and - in the
context of demographic policies - as between the born and the
unborn. Special attention is given to the social factors (such as
assortative mating, differential fertility, and laws and customs
relating to the inheritance of property) in explaining the
persistence of economic inequalities, and to the various forms of
economic policy which may be devised for the reduction of such
inequalities. An extensive mathematical model of the dynamics of
social welfare in a second-best economy is appended.
