Global Inequality : Patterns and Explanations

'This book offers a rich and diverse menu of perspectives on global inequality. There is no better place to start if you want to understand why so many intelligent people disagree so vehemently on the facts, their interpretation, and what to do about them.' Dani Rodrik, Harvard University 'Resentment of global inequality is emerging as one of the principal threats to globalization - but just how much inequality is there, how should it be defined, why has it happened and what can be done? This timely series of essays by the leading protagonists is the best survey of the arguments and evidence so far - the crucial source book on the global inequality debate.' Will Hutton, The Work Foundation
