With the growth of capitalism across the globe, inequalities of income, wealth and power became increasingly extreme. Written by economist Douglas Dowd, this book shows that the present banking crisis is the result of the growth of inequality across the globe. The expansion of the financial sector has brought incredible riches to a select few, at the expense of the majority. Inequality was ignored, or described as a necessary aspect of a booming global economy. With the collapse of the world markets, the fallacy of this position is clear. Inequality and the Global Economic Crisis shows how it is only by addressing inequality that we can secure the health of our economies in the future.--Publisher.Financial crisesIncome distributionEqualityEconomic aspectsGlobalizationEconomic aspectsCapitalismPovertyBig businessFinancial crises.Income distribution.EqualityEconomic aspects.GlobalizationEconomic aspects.Capitalism.Poverty.Big business.339.2Dowd Douglas F(Douglas Fitzgerald),1919-2017.1821289MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910973744003321Inequality and the global economic crisis4385063UNINA
