Power and Inequality : A Reformist Perspective Paperback / softback
by Alessandro (Sapienza Universita di Roma) Roncaglia
Part of the Studies in New Economic Thinking series
Paperback / softback
Description
Power is a broad and complex concept that cuts across all fields in humanities and social sciences.
Written by a leading historian of economic thought, Power and Inequality presents a wide-ranging and multi-disciplinary analysis of power as an economic and social issue.
Its aim is not to formulate a new abstract theory of power but rather to illustrate the different ways in which power is used to exacerbate social and economic inequality.
Issues such as division of labour and its evolution, different forms of capitalism up to the money-manager economy, the role of networks (from the family to mason lodges and the mafia), the state and the international arena, culture and the role of the masses are considered.
The analysis of these elements, causing inequalities of various kinds, is a prerequisite for devising progressive policy strategies aiming at a reduction of inequalities through a strategy of reforms.
