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. 606 $aFinancial crises 606 $aIncome distribution 606 $aEquality$xEconomic aspects 606 $aGlobalization$xEconomic aspects 606 $aCapitalism 606 $aPoverty 606 $aBig business 615 0$aFinancial crises. 615 0$aIncome distribution. 615 0$aEquality$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aGlobalization$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aCapitalism. 615 0$aPoverty. 615 0$aBig business. 676 $a339.2 700 $aDowd$b Douglas Fitzgerald$f1919-$0121380 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785164503321 996 $aInequality and the global economic crisis$9848701 997 $aUNINA
