  • More about Power and Inequality: A Reformist Perspective

Power is a broad and complex concept that cuts across all fields in humanities and social sciences. Power and Inequality presents a wide-ranging and multi-disciplinary analysis of power as an economic and social issue, illustrating the different ways in which it is used to exacerbate social and economic inequality.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 318 pages
Publication date: 18 January 2024
Publisher: Cambridge University Press


Power is a multifaceted and intricate concept that permeates across various disciplines within the humanities and social sciences. Authored by a renowned historian of economic thought, "Power and Inequality" offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary exploration of power as a socio-economic phenomenon. Rather than seeking to establish a novel abstract theory of power, its primary objective is to showcase the diverse ways in which power contributes to the perpetuation of social and economic disparities. The book delves into a range of topics, including the division of labor and its historical evolution, the diverse forms of capitalism, from feudalism to the money-manager economy, the significance of networks (spanning from familial relationships to mason lodges and organized crime), the role of the state and international relations, the influence of culture on the masses, and the interplay between these factors that result in various forms of inequality.

To develop effective policy strategies aimed at reducing inequalities, it is crucial to analyze these elements and their underlying causes. By undertaking such an analysis, policymakers can gain insights into the root causes of inequality and develop comprehensive reform plans to address them.

In conclusion, "Power and Inequality" serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and individuals interested in understanding the complex dynamics of power and its impact on society. Through its comprehensive analysis and insightful perspectives, the book provides a foundation for developing progressive policies that promote equity and social justice.
