Changing Inequalities and Societal Impacts in Rich Countries: Thirty Countries' Experiences

Beschreibung

This book addresses key questions about whether inequality in incomes, wealth, and education have been widening in a consistent fashion across 30 rich nations, and whether this is exacerbating social problems and undermining the healthy functioning of democratic processes.
