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,2662-6330MacroeconomicsRegional economicsSpatial economicsDevelopment economicsWelfare economicsEconomic theoryMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economicshttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W32000Regional/Spatial Sciencehttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W49000Development Economicshttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W42000Social Choice/Welfare Economics/Public Choice/Political Economyhttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W31020Economic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methodshttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W29000Macroeconomics.Regional economics.Spatial economics.Development economics.Welfare economics.Economic theory.Macroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics.Regional/Spatial Science.Development Economics.Social Choice/Welfare Economics/Public Choice/Political Economy.Economic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methods.339Basu Kaushikedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtStiglitz Joseph Eedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910254891203321Inequality and Growth: Patterns and Policy2005854UNINA
