Drawing on vast data sets and cutting-edge research,he explains the benign and malign forces that make inequality rise and fall within and among nations. He also reveals who has been helped the most by globalization,who has been held back,and what policies might tilt the balance toward economic justice. “The data [Milanovic] provides offer a clearer picture of great economic puzzles,and his bold theorizing chips away at tired economic orthodoxies.” — The Economist “Milanovic has written an outstanding book…Informative,wide-ranging,scholarly,imaginative and commendably brief. As you would expect from one of the world's leading experts on this topic,Milanovic has added significantly to important recent works by Thomas Piketty,Anthony Atkinson and François Bourguignon…Ever-rising inequality looks a highly unlikely combination with any genuine democracy. It is to the credit of Milanovics book that it brings out these dangers so clearly,along with the important global successes of the past few decades. —Martin Wolf, Financial Times
