Description
Winner of the Richard A. Lester Award for the Outstanding Book in Industrial Relations and Labor Economics, Princeton University An Economist Best Economics and Business Book of the Year A Financial Times Best Economics Book of the Year Inequality is one of our most urgent social problems. Curbed in the decades after World War II, it has recently returned with a vengeance. We all know the scale of the problem¿talk about the 99% and the 1% is entrenched in public debate¿but there has been little discussion of what we can do but despair. According to the distinguished economist Anthony Atkinson, however, we can do much more than skeptics imagine. ¿[Atkinson] sets forth a list of concrete, innovative, and persuasive proposals meant to show that alternatives still exist, that the battle for social progress and equality must reclaim its legitimacy, here and now¿ Witty, elegant, profound, this book should be read.¿ ¿Thomas Piketty, New York Review of Books ¿An uncomfortable affront to our reigning triumphalists. [Atkinson¿s] premise is straightforward: inequality is not unavoidable, a fact of life like the weather, but the product of conscious human behavior. ¿Owen Jones, The Guardian
