THE EVOLUTION AND DETERMINANTS OF WEALTH INEQUA...

This book focuses on wealth inequality trends in the North Atlantic Anglo-sphere countries of
Canada  the United Kingdom  and the United States over the period from 1668 to 2013: a wider
perspective than generally used when wealth inequality is discussed. This book demonstrates
that it is important to put current dimensions of wealth inequality into historical context by
looking at performance over the long run rather than simply a few decades. Moreover  this
contribution compiles a substantial amount of data on estimates of wealth inequality and
provides a concise overview of trends as well as the drivers of inequality over the long term.
It serves as a short supplementary text for economics and sociology courses on economic
inequality  economic history and social change-while remaining of interest to scholars and
policymakers invested in equality debates of the past and present.
