Summary:
In The Globalization of Inequality, distinguished economist and policymaker François Bourguignon examines the complex and paradoxical links between a vibrant world economy that has raised the living standard of over half a billion people in emerging nations and the exponentially increasing inequality within countries. Bourguignon takes an original and truly international approach to examining globalization's role in the decrease in inequality between nations, the increase in inequality within nations, and the policies that might moderate inequality's negative effects. A new preface contextualizes recent economic and political developments, such as the rise in extreme populism, the associated drive toward increased protectionism, and anti-immigrant sentiment.
