Description
Sustainable Development Goals and Income Inequality provides a critical analysis of how global goals address inequality. The authors argue that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) fall short in addressing growing national inequality, particularly in relation to the gap between income from work and capital, and its impact on social fabric. This book offers a comprehensive review of global inequality development and the processes leading up to the SDG formulation. It features contributions from top researchers in inequality and development economics, providing a strong intellectual basis for further discussion of inequality in the follow-up process to the SDGs. With a global perspective and in-depth regional analysis, this book is of interest to students and academics in sustainable development, social policy, and development economics.
