Over the past thirty years, the issue of economic inequality has
emerged from the backwaters of economics to claim center stage in
the political discourse of America and beyond a change prompted by
a troubling fact: numerous measures of income inequality,
especially in the United States in the last quarter of the
twentieth century, have risen sharply in recent years. Even so,
many people remain confused about what, exactly, politicians and
media persons mean when they discuss inequality. What does
"economic inequality " mean? How is it measured? Why should we
care? Why did inequality rise in the United States? Is rising
inequality an inevitable feature of capitalism? What should we do
about it? Inequality: What Everyone Needs to Know takes up these
questions and more in plain and clear language, bringing to life
one of the great economic and political debates of our age.
Inequality expert James K. Galbraith has compiled the latest
economic research on inequality and explains his findings in a way
that everyone can understand. He offers a comprehensive
introduction to the study of economic inequality, including its
philosophical and theoretical origins, the variety of concepts in
wide use, empirical measures and their advantages and
disadvantages, competing modern theories of the causes and effects
of rising inequality in the United States and worldwide, and a
range of policy measures. This latest addition to the popular What
Everyone Needs to Know series from Oxford University Press will
tell you everything you need to know to make informed opinions on
this significant issue.
