Visions of inequality : from the French Revolution to the end of the Cold War

Branko Milanovic

"Today's inequality discourse has a fascinating and illuminating 300-year history. Branko Milanovic describes the evolution of the idea of inequality through portraits of six key economists, from Quesnay to Kuznets. In their work and lives, we see the rise and consolidation of the theory of social class, followed by its twentieth-century eclipse."
