Description
Book SynopsisEurope's Income, Wealth, Consumption, and Inequality offers a novel approach to the analysis of social and economic trends, and the resulting book identifies major policy challenges applicable in the EU and beyond. Georg Fischer, Robert Strauss, and their contributors focus on explaining how policy makers and the media focus on national trends to measure progress among the nations in Europe.
Trade ReviewEurope's Income, Wealth, Consumption and Inequality offers a wide range of perspectives regarding the development of inequality, specifically assessing inequality within the EU and neighboring countries. Too often, research focuses on the perceived impact of recent austerity policies on the income distribution, frequently without strong evidence. This book offers a comprehensive empirical analysis of the development of inequality in Europe, which makes it such a valuable contribution for social scientists and policy makers. * Martin Seeleib-Kaiser, Professor of Comparative Public Policy, Institute of Political Science, University of Tübingen *
