The very meaning of ecomic inequality is fundamental for understanding today's policy debates over issues such as interpreting changes in income inequality over time, across countries, or between groups within a society, as well as determining whether or t society is becoming more polarized with a shrinking middle class. Professor Becker has selected seminal papers covering topics including foundations of income inequality measurement, the social welfare view of inequality and directions for future research on ecomic inequality. Along with a new and original introduction, this essential single volume is an indispensable tool for scholars and practitioners alike.
