About this title

Synopsis

The relationship between inequality and democracy is a compelling one for the contemporary social scientist. This book addresses questions raised as early as the time of Aristotle, and continue through Marx to the present day. Theories of inequality in relation to democracy are explored, and the book focuses on the sources of democracy, the relationship between economic development and thresholds of democracy, and finally responses to democratization. As the gap between rich and poor widens within and between nations, the subject of this book becomes increasingly important worldwide.

Review

"An excellent resource for upper-level courses in politics, sociology, and economics; also very useful for scholars working in the area of status inequities and global political systems. Upper-division undergraduates and above." Choice
