This state-of-the-art volume presents comparative, empirical
research on a topic that has long preoccupied scholars,
politicians, and everyday citizens: economic inequality. While
income and wealth inequality across all populations is the primary
focus, the contributions to this book pay special attention to the
middle class, a segment often not addressed in inequality
literature. Written by leading scholars in the field of economic
inequality, all 17 chapters draw on microdata from the databases of
LIS, an esteemed cross-national data center based in Luxembourg.
Using LIS data to structure a comparative approach, the
contributors paint a complex portrait of inequality across affluent
countries at the beginning of the 21st century. The volume also
trail-blazes new research into inequality in countries newly
entering the LIS databases, including Japan, Iceland, India, and
South Africa.
