Inequality and American Democracy: What We Know and What We Need to Learn

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the twentieth century, the United States ended some of its most flagrant inequalities. The `rights revolution` ended statutory prohibitions against women`s suffrage and opened the doors of voting booths to African Americans. Yet a more insidious form of inequality has emerged since the 1970s--economic inequality--which appears to have stalled and, in some arenas, reversed progress toward realizing American ideals of democracy. In Inequality and American Democracy , editors Lawrence R. Jacobs and Theda Skocpol headline a distinguished group of political scientists in assessing whether rising economic inequality now threatens hard-won victories in the long struggle to achieve political equality in the United States. Inequality and American Democracy addresses disparities at all levels of the political and policy-making process. Kay Lehman Scholzman, Benjamin Page, Sidney Verba, and Morris Fiorina demonstrate that political participation is highly… [detailed...]

Inequality and Civic Participation

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book considers how inequality of income and educational attainment affects participation in local government and community development. Adapting a standard economic model, it shows that increases in inequality can decrease overall group participation and individuals` likelihood of participating. The theory predicts, however, that increasing the responsiveness of civic bodies to input from citizens can mitigate the negative effects of inequality. Original survey data from over 680 households in Missoula, Montana is then analyzed to test the implications of the theory. In Missoula, people have 3 ways of participating: not at all, alone, or in groups. The analysis shows that people living in neighborhoods with high inequality are less likely to drop out entirely, but more likely to participate alone. This effect is greatest under high educational inequality. These results support what many already know: equal access to education is a necessary ingredient for a healthy democracy. But… [detailed...]

Inequality and Economic Development in Brazil (World Bank Country Study) (World Bank Country Study)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Inequality and Economic Development in Brazil is part of the World Bank Country Study series. These reports are published with the approval of the subject government to communicate the results of the Bank`s work on the economic and related conditions of member countries to governments and to the development community. Excessive income inequality is unfair and undesirable on ethical grounds and can bring adverse effects on economic growth, health outcomes, social cohesion, and crime. Besides, excessively unequal initial conditions are likely to lead to a perverse cycle of weak social mobility. Even more in countries--like Brazil--where fertility differentials between educated and uneducated mothers are much stronger. Brazil`s income inequality has been very high and persistent over time, and it has deep historic roots. Nonetheless, there have been important income improvements for the poorest, especially since stabilization in 1993 and, Brazil has achieved major improvements… [detailed...]

Inequality and Economic Integration (Routledge Siena Studies in Political Economy)

Publisher: —
Description: Globalization and increased integration has impacted on quality of life and living standards across the world. Attempts to evaluate the impact on income dispersion from this process have been extremely controversial. This new volume is the first real attempt to build up indices and a theoretical framework to deal with inequality of opportunity, and in order to enable social and political institutions to monitor increasing disparities in well-being and social exclusion. It examines the possible relationships between the recent acceleration in economic integration and inequality among persons and countries. The contributions in this volume cover different-sub fields of economics and examine inequality utilizing a uni-dimensional inequality criteria. They analyze both the negative and positive spillover effects of economic integration on individuals, social groups and nations as well as examining both theoretically and empirically, the multi-dimensional impact of globalization… [detailed...]

Inequality and Growth in Modern China (W I D E R Studies in Development Economics)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This volume provides comprehensive updated coverage of inequality and poverty issues in China. Some of the methodologies developed herein are published for the first time and may be used in other contexts and for other countries. The use of different data sources and state-of-art research techniques ensures that the findings and conclusions can be substantiated and that the policy recommendations are reliable and robust. Contributors to this volume are renowned experts in their respective areas, including, notably, Justin Lin, Xing Meng, Kai-yuen Tsui, and Guanghua Wan. For these reasons, those with an interest in income distribution in general and China`s development in particular, will find this volume essential reading. Rapidly rising inequality in China has contributed to the sluggishness of domestic demand and emerging poverty. It has thus exerted considerable pressure for commodity exports and represents a root cause of increased trade disputes. These have profound… [detailed...]

Inequality and Growth: Theory and Policy Implications (Cesifo Seminar Series)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Even minute increases in a country`s growth rate can result in dramatic changes in living standards over just one generation. The benefits of growth, however, may not be shared equally. Some may gain less than others, and a fraction of the population mayactually be disadvantaged. Recent economic research has found both positive and negative relationships between growth and inequality across nations. The questions raised by these results include: What is the impact on inequality of policies designed to foster growth? Does inequality by itself facilitate or detract from economic growth, and does it amplify or diminish policy effectiveness? This book provides a forum for economists to examine the theoretical, empirical, and policy issues involved in the relationship between growth and inequality. The aim is to develop a framework for determining the role of public policy in enhancing both growth and equality. The diverse range of topics, examined in both developed and… [detailed...]

Inequality and Prosperity: Social Europe Vs. Liberal America

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: What are the relative merits of the American and European socioeconomic systems? Longstanding debates have heated up in recent years with the expansion of the European Union and increasingly sharp political and cultural differences between the United States and Europe. In Inequality and Prosperity, Jonas Pontusson provides a comparative overview of the two major models of labor markets and welfare systems in the advanced industrial world: the `liberal capitalist` system of the United States and Britain, and the `social market` capitalism of northern Europe. These two models balance concerns of efficiency and equity in fundamentally different ways. In the 1990s the much-heralded forces of globalization (together with demographic changes and attendant political pressures) seemed to threaten the very existence of the social-market economies of Europe. Were the social compacts of Sweden and Germany outmoded? Would varieties of capitalism remain possible, or were labor-market and… [detailed...]

Inequality and Tax Policy

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Inequality has become a hot political issue, but there has been little accessible analysis by professional economists on equity issues in tax reform. Inequality and Tax Policy addresses those very issues. Drawing from the most current research, leading specialists in public finance, macroeconomics, and political economy explore key interactions among policy, inequality, and the economy. Seven essays cover many different aspects of inequality: the interactions between inequality and economic growth, the impact of inequality on program evaluation, how one can measure fairness in the treatment of similarly situated taxpayers, the role of high-income entrepreneurs in wealth creation, and how attempts to redistribute income affect the behavior of taxpayers. Two central questions animate the analysis in Inequality and Tax Policy: What is the philosophical justification for progressive taxation? Is redistribution less desirable or effective in achieving social goals in an increasingly… [detailed...]

Many of the conclusions throw into question widely held views on these issues among the public, academics, and policymakers. [detailed...]

Inequality, Polarization and Poverty: Advances in Distributional Analysis (Economic Studies in Inequality, Social Exclusion and Well-Being)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The study of inequality, polarization and poverty is crucial for understanding the economic well-being of the population of a country. Conceptual and methodological advances and better data have provided better insights into these issues in recent years, and it is the objective of the book to present a systematic and up-to-date treatment of the developments in the subject. Both welfare theoretic and descriptive approaches are discussed and, since the wellbeing of a population depends on income and non-income indicators, both unidimensional and multidimensional frameworks are taken into consideration. The technical terms and mathematical operations employed to analyze the results are explained intuitively in non-technical terms, and numerical analyses and graphical representations help to illustrate important concepts.

Inequality, Poverty and Well-being (Studies in Development Economics and Policy)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: With more than a billion people living on less than one dollar per day, some evidence of increasing gaps in living conditions within and between countries and the clear evidence of substantial declines in life expectancy or other health outcomes in some parts of the world, the related topics of inequality, poverty and well-being are core international issues. More is known about inequality, poverty and well-being than ever before as a result of conceptual and methodological advances and better data. Yet many debates persist and numerous important questions remain unanswered. This book examines inequality, poverty and well-being concepts and corresponding empirical measures. Attempting to push future research in new and important directions, the book has a strong analytical orientation, consisting of a mix of conceptual and empirical analyses that constitute new and innovative contributions to the research literature.

Publisher: —
Description: In this revelatory new book, prominent academics O`Hara and Stevens tackle all the thorny issues which crop up when you realise that the internet is just another practically unregulated space in which actions take place. Whereas suppliers of goods, services and information often have to ensure availability to all in the real world and are subject to strict rules, in the virtual sphere such conventions rarely exist. On this note, the authors inspect how the lack of internet access to the poor can deprive them of services and information that are essential to their status as equal citizens in society. Likewise, they discuss how uncertainty about future technologies undermines our personal liberty - we can never be sure how the trail of information we leave about ourselves will be used in years to come.
