Recenzje

'This is a very valuable book that will be helpful to anyone studying economic inequality. It contains an admirably clear overview of the causes, nature and consequences of inequality, and perceptively analyses the policies that could tackle the growing gap between rich and poor.' Gabriel Zucman, University of Berkeley, California 'Concerns about the scale and impact of inequality are growing, around the world and across different academic disciplines. Frank Stillwell sets out, in a clear and comprehensive guide, everything you need to know about the causes and consequences of economic inequality, as well as the changes needed to create a more equal world.' Kate Pickett, University of York
