In this book, James K. Galbraith offers a vast expansion of the capacity to calculate measures of economic inequality both at lower and higher levels of aggregation. Breaking down traditional administrative boundaries to economic research, he provides a more sophisticated and more accurate picture of inequality around the world, and how inequality is one of the most basic sources of economic instability.
