Exploring globalization's role in the evolution of inequality, Bourguignon takes an original and truly international approach to the decrease in inequality \u003ci\u003ebetween\u003c\/i\u003e nations, the increase in inequality \u003ci\u003ewithin \u003c\/i\u003enations, and the policies that might moderate inequality's negative effects. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDemonstrating that in a globalized world it becomes harder to separate out the factors leading to domestic or international inequality, Bourguignon examines each trend through a variety of sources, and looks at how these inequalities sometimes balance each other out or reinforce one another. Factoring in the most recent economic crisis, Bourguignon investigates why inequality in some countries has dropped back to levels that have not existed for several decades, and he asks if these should be considered in the context of globalization or if they are in fact specific to individual nations. Ultimately, Bourguignon argues that it will be up to countries in the developed and developing world to implement better policies, even though globalization limits the scope for some potential redistributive instruments. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn informed and original contribution to the current debates about inequality, this book will be essential reading for anyone who is interested in the future of the world economy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fran輟is Bourguignon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691175640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691175645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Fran輟is Bourguignon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44227529670911,"sku":"9780691175645","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7e135cc-6877-42ad-925c-11b16019f66e.jpg?v=1692809195","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-globalization-of-inequality-franois-bourguignon-9780691175645","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
