Description

Political Power and Economic Inequality offers a balanced comparative analysis of worldwide income inequality.

Charles F. Andrain explores the ways that government institutions, political parties, private corporations, labor unions, and protest movements influence public programs.

How do these organizations mobilize resources so that their preferences become government decisions?

What impact do these policies have on different geographic regions, occupations, ethnic-religious groups, and genders?

Drawing on comprehensive worldwide data, the author highlights the similarities and differences among nations.

By focusing on global trends, he explains the connections that link domestic conditions with foreign trade, overseas investment, labor migration, and communications media. Andrain argues that the globalization of income inequality explains contemporary political life in the United States as well as in other parts of the world.

To fully understand global income distribution, we need to grasp how historical changes affect these trends, why social movements stage protests against the growing income gap, and how a comparative approach best explains income differences. Andrain’s tightly written interdisciplinary study stresses the impact of this problem on political life and social change in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

The comparative evidence probes the full dynamics of this controversial issue and its consequences for society as a whole.
