One of the worldâ€™s leading economists of inequality, Branko Milanovic presents a bold new account of the dynamics that drive inequality on a global scale. 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.

â€œThe data [Milanovic] provides offer a clearer picture of great economic puzzles, and his bold theorizing chips away at tired economic orthodoxies.â€
â€”The Economist

â€œMilanovic has written an outstanding bookâ€¦Informative, wide-ranging, scholarly, imaginative and commendably brief. As you would expect from one of the worldâ€™s leading experts on this topic, Milanovic has added significantly to important recent works by Thomas Piketty, Anthony Atkinson and FranÃ§ois Bourguignonâ€¦Ever-rising inequality looks a highly unlikely combination with any genuine democracy. It is to the credit of Milanovicâ€™s book that it brings out these dangers so clearly, along with the important global successes of the past few decades.
