Edward Elgar Publishing Globalization and Inequality (The Globalization of the World Economy series)

Product Description This title brings together the most significant modern contributions to the literature on globalization and inequality. The editor's selection, set in context by an authoritative introduction, uses broad analyses and important case studies to illustrate the impact on levels of inequality of previous periods of globalization and of the current era of globalization. The research review further focuses on the issues of openness and inequality, and concludes with several benchmark papers that examine global levels of inequality. This timely book will be an invaluable resource for anyone concerned with this vital relationship, including teachers, doctoral students and researchers. Review ‘This outstanding book maps the debates about globalization and inequality: how globalization impacts national inequality and how an open global economy shapes inequality within and across the borders of states. Branko Milanovic’s collection will become the authoritative source on these complex issues.’ -- David Held, Durham University, UK About the Author Edited by Branko Milanovic, Lead Economist, World Bank Research Department, US and Visiting Professor, School of Public Policy, University of Maryland, US
