Summary

"Not all unequal countries are unequal in the same ways or to the same degree. In Challenging Inequality, Evelyne Huber and John D. Stephens analyze different patterns of increasing income inequality in post-industrial societies since the 1980s and assess the policies and social structures best able to mitigate against the worst forms and effects of market inequality. Combining statistical analysis of data from 22 countries with a comparative historical analysis of Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the United States, they identify the factors that are driving increases in inequality, as well as those that shape persistent marked differences between countries. Statistical analysis confirms generalizable patterns, while in-depth country studies help to further elucidate the processes at work"-- Provided by publisher.
