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 o istorie fascinanta de 200 de ani a discursului despre inegalitate prin intermediul portretelor a sase economisti cheie, de la Quesnay la Kuznets. In opera si viata lor, vedem cat de diferit a conceput fiecare inegalitatea si cum acest subiect, important in vremea lor, a fost eclipsat in timpul Razboiului Rece si a redevenit central.
