The Inequality Crisis

“These authors boldly stride where other economists toddle. Providing the underlying conditions for a good life for all, present and future, is the central challenge for humanity.” Richard B. Norgaard, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley “An insightful and well-reasoned collection articles on the much-avoided subject of inequality – articles that are too revealing and too accessible to be accepted for publication by the complacent journals of the neoclassical cartel. Thanks to editors Fullbrook & Morgan for their continuing role as intellectual trust-busters!” Herman Daly “This is a magnificent collection of essays. It can and should be read by both undergraduate students and research economists. Inequality is the issue of our time. Excavating the data spotlights what is wrong with our economy. Excavating the causes shows how textbook economics twists understandings, thereby surreptitiously tilting our politics.” Thomas Palley, Economist, Washington, DC Contributions from: Holger Apel, Marshall Auerback, Dean Baker, Victor A.
