Global Inequality: A New Approach for the Age of Globalization

One of the world`s leading economists of inequality, Branko Milanovic presents a bold new account of the dynamics that drive inequality on a global scale. Drawing on vast data sets and cutting-edge research, he explains the benign and malign forces that make inequality rise and fall within and among nations. He also reveals who has been helped the most by globalization, who has been held back, and what policies might tilt the balance toward economic justice. The data Milanovic provides offer a clearer picture of great economic puzzles, and his bold theorizing chips away at tired economic orthodoxies.
