About this book

A two-volume set intended for readers interested in understanding the political and cultural underpinnings of socioeconomic inequality across the globe, Inequality around the World examines key drivers and shapers of inequality at the local, national, and international level. The two-volume set includes 33 in-depth chapters covering such issues as public and private healthcare, environmental protection and pollution, housing, disability, women's rights, land policies, antisemitism, sexual orientation and gender diversity, race and racism, political representation, and access to higher education. Each chapter compares and contrasts conditions in major countries, including the USA, Russia, India, China, and Germany, as well as in wider regions like the Middle East, West Africa, Central America, and Eastern Europe. Scrupulously researched and wide-ranging in coverage, Inequality around the World provides an in-depth survey of socioeconomic inequality in the 21st century in all its many forms.
