{"product_id":"9789814401715","title":"Growth With Inequality: An International Comparison On Income Distribution: An International Comparison on Income Distribution","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the era of globalization and liberalization, the world is enjoying high growth as well as suffering from the ill-effects of unequal distribution of its economic outcomes. The activities of anti-government demonstrations in China and across the world via the Occupy Wall Street Movement highlight that inequality has become an international phenomenon. It is apparent in both poor countries under authoritarianism and rich countries governed by a democratic regime. Thus, inequality has become not only a hurdle to development but also a threat to social and political stability. The spread of the Jasmine Revolution across parts of North Africa and the Arab Spring are illustrative of what can happen under certain circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book confirms the inconsistencies between high growth and increasing inequality via a series of case studies across 11 countries, numerous regions, and OECD members. Many of the case studies draw upon original household surveys. Our findings indicate the seriousness of income inequality, explore factors that have caused the inequality and analyze their economic and social consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book raises, and deals with, three key questions: (1) Can high growth reduce inequality gradually? (2) Can government intervention be effective in equalizing income distribution? (3) Is the income disparity an engine for, or an obstacle of, high growth?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGlobalization, Liberalization, Growth and Income Inequality:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth and Inequality in China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth and Inequality in Hong Kong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth and Inequality in the United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth and Inequality in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth and Inequality in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth and Inequality in Korea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth and Inequality in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth and Inequality in Indonesia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth and Inequality in Thailand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth and Inequality in Singapore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth and Inequality in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFactor and Policy Analysis on Income Inequality:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInformal Employment and Income Disparity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEducational Disparity and Income Disparity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHousing Inequality and Underlying Factors in Urban China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgriculture Profitability and Income Disparity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabor Migration and Income Inequality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncome Inequality, Labor Migration and the Lewis Tuning Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrade-offs and Complementarities Between Growth and Inequality in OECD Countries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership: \u003c\/b\u003eResearchers, students, government officers and general readers interested in income distribution studies.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185283875056,"sku":"9789814401715","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814401715_p0.jpg?v=1763691428","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814401715","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
