Early evidence seemed to suggest that this pattern would be borne out. But, as time passed and growth persisted, inequality continued to grow, casting doubt on the received wisdom. The aim of this two-volume book is to analyze the current state of global and regional inequality, dissect the phenomenal increase in inequality that we have seen occur in recent times, and better understand the complex relationship between inequality and development. The political instability and conflict that we see around the world, arguably, has connection to economic deprivation of large segments of society and the perception of marginalization. This two-volume work acquires a special significance in the light of these developments.International Economic Association Series,2662-6330Development economicsRegional economicsSpatial economicsMacroeconomicsWelfare economicsDevelopment Economicshttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W42000Regional/Spatial Sciencehttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W49000Macroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economicshttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W32000Social Choice/Welfare Economics/Public Choice/Political Economyhttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W31020Development economics.Regional economics.Spatial economics.Macroeconomics.Welfare economics.Development Economics.Regional/Spatial Science.Macroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics.Social Choice/Welfare Economics/Public Choice/Political Economy.338.9BUS022000BUS039000BUS068000bisacshBasu Kaushikedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtStiglitz Joseph Eedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910151584203321Inequality and Growth: Patterns and Policy2005854UNINA
