Synopsis

Income distribution is one of the most important issues related to social change and is a central question in public policy. Despite this, income distribution is often neglected by mainstream economics. This important book seeks to rectify this by presenting a number of heterodox approaches to income distribution.

The book approaches the subject from a variety of different schools of thought and focuses on some of the broader topics within income distribution as well as its significance for national policy. It addresses the social order of society as dictated by income, as well as institutional arrangements and their impact on income distribution theory and policy. The authors discuss current thinking as well as considering empirical findings on income distribution and how these are affected by different stages of economic development.

The Economics of Income Distribution will be welcomed by economists, sociologists and political scientists interested in public policy issues relating to income distribution.
