Description

The World Inequality Report: 2018 is the most authoritative and up-to-date account of global trends in inequality. Researched, compiled, and written by a team of the world’s leading economists of inequality, it presents―with unrivaled clarity and depth―information and analysis for you to be vital to policy makers and scholars all over the place.

Inequality has taken center stage in public debate as the wealthiest people in most parts of the world have seen their share of the economy soar relative to that of others, many of whom, especially in the West, have experienced stagnation. The resulting political and social pressures have posed harsh new challenges for governments and created a pressing demand for reliable data. The World Inequality Lab at the Paris School of Economics and the University of California, Berkeley, has answered this call by coordinating research into the up to date trends in the accumulation and distribution of income and wealth on each continent. This inaugural report analyzes the Lab’s findings, which come with data from major countries where information has traditionally been difficult to acquire, such as China, India, and Brazil. Among nations, inequality has been decreasing as traditionally poor countries’ economies have caught up with the West. The report shows, then again, that inequality has been ceaselessly deepening within almost each nation, though national trajectories vary, suggesting the importance of institutional and policy frameworks in shaping inequality.

The World Inequality Report: 2018 will be a key document for somebody concerned about one of the imperative and contentious subjects in up to date politics and economics.
