    Reviews
    "This particular volume, written by an economics professor, is a superb review of some of the key questions and data that are relevant to understanding the causes, consequences, and trends related to economic inequality. ...Overall, this is a remarkably effective introduction to a complex set of problems. It would be an excellent starting point for students and interested general readers, and it would be well suited both to public and academic library collections."
    - ARBA

    "In this contribution to ABC-CLIO's "Contemporary World Issues" series, economist Gilbert (Hobart and William Smith Colleges) provides an excellent overview of income inequality... Highly recommended. Academic collections, lower-division undergraduate and up."
