This comprehensive text draws on a wealth of cutting-edge theories and empirical data to examine the political and economic causes and consequences of income inequality around the globe. It is organized around a set of key questions, including: * Is there something morally wrong with inequality? * Is inequality good or bad for economic growth? * How does inequality affect political participation and engagement? * Who decides in the politics of inequality? Systematic and accessible, this is the perfect book for students with an interest in the connections between politics and inequality.
