| 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."

"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."
