Beskrivning

The precipitous rise in global and national economic inequality, which the inexorable force of globalization promised to address with affluence and abundance for all, has returned with a vengeance. The problem of worsening socioeconomic inequality and how best to ameliorate this pernicious resurgence occupies center stage of national and international politics. This study investigates the coexistence of high rates of economic growth and unparalleled prosperity (including a review of the decline in poverty levels in China and India and many other developing countries) with rises in income and wealth inequality in the United States, China, and India. This book examines the overall effectiveness of the measures taken by these three countries to address such anomalies, and what they should do to tackle the problem of widening inequality. This study breaks new ground by providing an original comparative analysis of the challenges facing the world's three major economies.

Recensioner i media

'This is the first comparative study of the drivers of inequality in three countries with radically different political and economic institutions. Shalendra D. Sharma shows how the interaction between globalization, institutional arrangements and public policy can increase income inequality in different political and economic contexts. His original insights and sobering findings should make this book required reading for all concerned with the causes and consequences of inequality in the new gilded age.' Minxin Pei, Claremont McKenna College, California and author of China's Crony Capitalism
