While income and wealth inequality across all populations is the primary focus, the contributions to this book pay special attention to the middle class, a segment often not addressed in inequality literature. Written by leading scholars in the field of economic inequality, all 17 chapters draw on microdata from the databases of LIS, an esteemed cross-national data center based in Luxembourg. Using LIS data to structure a comparative approach, the contributors paint a complex portrait of inequality across affluent countries at the beginning of the 21st century. The volume also trail-blazes new research into inequality in countries newly entering the LIS databases, including Japan, Iceland, India, and South Africa. 410 0$aStudies in social inequality. 606 $aIncome distribution 606 $aMiddle class 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIncome distribution. 615 0$aMiddle class. 676 $a339.2/2091722 686 $aMS 1390$2rvk 701 $aGornick$b Janet C$01042250 701 $aJa?ntii$b Markus$f1966-$01042251 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462949303321 996 $aIncome inequality$92466345 997 $aUNINA
