Edited by Olivier Blanchard, professor emeritus of economics, and Dani Rodrik
MIT Press · 2021
Economic inequality is the defining issue of our time. In this book, leading economists, many of them current or former policymakers, bring good news: We have the tools to reverse the rise in inequality. In their discussions, they consider which of these tools are the most effective at doing so.
From Summer 2021 recommended reading from MIT (MIT News).
