Beskrivning
The very meaning of economic inequality is fundamental for understanding today’s policy debates over issues such as interpreting changes in income inequality over time, across countries, or between groups within a society, as well as determining whether or not society is becoming more polarized with a shrinking middle class. Professor Becker has selected seminal papers covering topics including foundations of income inequality measurement, the social welfare view of inequality and directions for future research on economic inequality. Along with a new and original introduction, this essential single volume is an indispensable tool for scholars and practitioners alike.

Recensioner i media

‘. . . Like Cowell's collection, this new volume is a treasure trove. It contains classics such as Lorenz's 1905 'Methods of Measuring the Concentration of Wealth' ( - strange how disconcerting it is to see the Lorenz curve, as originally drawn, on a graph with per cent of total wealth along the horizontal axis, and per cent of population along the vertical). It also contains more recent material, including Foster and Wolfson's 2010 article 'Polarization and the Decline of the Middle Class.’
