Description
This volume extends the inequality and development debate to the possible sociopolitical disruptions of growing inequality and its ramifications for growth and development. Comparing a range of countries in Asia and beyond, the contributors examine the relationships between growth, distribution and politics. Theoretical and empirical studies are backed up by discussion of historical developments in this interdisciplinary study which should be of interest to political scientists, sociologists, historians and economists.
