Recently, the issue of inequality has regained attention in
economic and political debates. Although this interest is welcome,
the debate is still mostly focused on income or wealth
distribution, which is an important aspect but does not present a
complete view of inequality. Most of the theoretical and empirical
studies produced by economists concern personal income distribution
or factor income distribution. This is more evident in the studies
of the evolution and characteristics of contemporary capitalism and
globalization. Varieties of Economic Inequality considers both
theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence of aspects such as
income, gender, race, technology, power, region, education and
class. Ultimately, this text rejects the idea of supposed long run
constant factor shares, the positive effects of inequality and the
greater importance of absolute level of income compared to its
unequal distribution, and instead reveals the structural
inequalities that exist within societies. This book advocates a
move away from the focusing on inequality at the level of the
individual and suggests policy for eradicating these various forms
of inequality. It is suitable for those who study political
economy, social inequality as well as economic theory and
philosophy.
