Without the safety net of the various northern welfare states, inequality in the global South is not merely a socio-economic problem, but an existential threat to the social contract that underpins the democratic state and society itself. Only a response that is firmly grounded in the context of the global South can hope to address this problem. This collection brings together scholars from across the globe, with a particular focus on the global South, to address broad thematic areas such as the conceptual and methodological challenges of measuring inequality; the political economy of inequality in the global South; inequality in work, households and the labour market; and inequalities in land, spaces and cities. The book concludes by suggesting alternatives for addressing inequality in the global South and around the world. The pioneering ideas and theories put forward by this volume make it essential reading for students and researchers of global inequality across the fields of sociology, economics, law, politics, global studies, and development studies"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aEquality$zDeveloping countries 615 0$aEquality 676 $a305.5091724 702 $aFrancis$b David$f1988- 702 $aWebster$b Eddie 702 $aValodia$b Imraan 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910861049803321 996 $aInequality Studies from the Global South$91763180 997 $aUNINA
