Visions of Inequality

Branko Milanovic charts 200 years of the fascinating history of the discourse on inequality through portraits of six key economists, from Quesnay to Kuznets. In their work and lives, we see how differently each conceived of inequality, and how the subject, prominent in their times, was eclipsed during the Cold War and has become central once again.

Branko Milanovic prezinta 200 de ani din istoria fascinanta a discursului asupra inegalitatii prin portretele a sase economisti cheie, de la Quesnay la Kuznets. In munca si viata lor, vedem cat de diferit a conceput fiecare inegalitatea si cum subiectul, proeminent in vremurile lor, a fost eclipsat in timpul Razboiului Rece si a devenit din nou central.
