Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Once there were princes and peasants and very few between. The extremes of wealth and poverty are still with us, but that shouldn't blind us to the fact our societies have been utterly transformed for the better over the past century. As Daniel Waldenstroem makes clear in this authoritative account of wealth accumulation and inequality in the modern west, we are today both significantly richer and more equal. Using cutting-edge research and new, sometimes surprising, data, Waldenstroem shows that what stands out since the late 1800s is a massive rise in the size of the middle class and its share of societys total wealth. Unfettered capitalism, it seems, doesnt have to lead to boundless inequality. The key to progress was political and institutional change that enabled citizens to become educated, better paid, and to amass wealth through housing and pension savings. Waldenstroem asks how we can consolidate these gains while encouraging the creation of new capital. The answer, he argues, is to pursue tax and social policies that raise the wealth of people in the bottom and middle rather than cutting wealth of entrepreneurs at the top. Richer and More Equal is a benchmark account of one of the most profound and encouraging social changes in human history and a blueprint for continued progress.

Paperback. Condition: New. There is a clear trend in rich countries that, despite rising incomes and living standards, the gap between rich and poor is widening. What does this mean for our health? Does increasing income inequality affect outcomes such as obesity, life expectancy and subjective well-being? Are rich and poor groups affected in the same ways? This book reviews the latest research on the relationship between inequality and health, and provides a pedagogical introduction to the tools and knowledge needed to understand and assess the vast literature on the subject.The book includes discussion of the definitions and measurement of objective and subjective health and income inequality, and illustrates how various measures have been developed in different countries. Main conclusions from the literature are then summarized and discussed critically. It incorporates a substantial research overview of the field, as well as a detailed debate of the empirical challenges that arise during research. The book concludes that results are surprisingly contradictory, but that several studies have found that higher inequality is directly linked to lower subjective well-being.Students and scholars in public health, social work, economics, and sociology will find this book an essential exposition of conceptual issues and empirical methods applied to the controversial topic of the health consequences of inequality.

Bolsillo. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. Podremos seguir pagando la factura del capitalismo en las próximas décadas?Hace siglos la sociedad se dividía entre reyes y campesinos. Hoy se ha desarrollado una gran clase media que, teóricamente, goza de más privilegios que nunca. Y aunque la riqueza y la pobreza siguen existiendo, en las últimas décadas es evidente que las sociedades occidentales han progresado en materia de igualdad económica y social. Cuáles han sido las claves de ese progreso? Entre ellas se encuentran la educación, las mejoras salariales y la acumulación de riqueza mediante la vivienda y el ahorro para la jubilación. Gracias a investigaciones de vanguardia y sorprendentes datos actuales, Daniel Waldenström analiza en este libro el crecimiento que ha experimentado la clase media a lo largo del siglo xxi y cómo su participación en la riqueza total de la sociedad está afectando a los modelos actuales de capitalismo. Nos conduce esta realidad a una desigualdad sin límites o, por el contrario, el sistema es capaz de autorregularse? Pero cómo podemos consolidar estos logros al. LIBRO.
