Abstract:
Inequality endangers the fabric of our societies, distorts the functioning of democracy, and derails the globalization process. Yet it has only recently been recognized as a problem worth examining. Why has it been neglected for so long? In Inequality: A Short History, Michele Alacevich and Anna Soci discuss the emergence of the inequality question in the twentieth century and explain how inequality continues to be a daunting issue in the twenty-first centuryand why it matters for the survival of democracy
