Inequality In Financial Capitalism (Routledge Frontiers Of Political Economy)

From the 1980s to the present day, this book considers the theoretical aspects of inequality (its foundations, definitions, approaches and origins) and examines empirical evidence of income inequality in a wide range of advanced economies. The key arguments in this volume are that income inequality increased during this period because labour and welfare became seen as costs to be compressed in "financial capitalism" rather than as a fundamental part of aggregate demand to be expanded. However, the welfare state is not a drain on economic performance and competitiveness, or is it a barrier to economic efficiency. 9781138944121 1138944122 0 Equality NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=ITUXswEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
