Economic Theory and Policy amidst Global Discontent

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781138689213

This book rethinks economic theory and calls for a creative and pragmatic approach to policymaking. It examines what development and sustenance of economic progress mean, and how these may be facilitated. While globalization of goods and financial markets may have delivered high growth for some nations, the distribution of the benefits has often been highly unequal. This work emphasizes the relevance of a broad policy framework based on building individual capabilities and in line with a human-centric perspective. Also, it points out the crucial need to create policy space for macroeconomic stability and to accommodate heterodox influences to address the persisting global problems of poverty, inequality and sustaining development.

Inequality and Inclusive Growth in Rich Countries: Shared Challenges and Contrasting Fortunes
Rising inequality in income and wealth across the OECD has been widely recognised and identified as a major concern&#x3b; <em>Inequality and Inclusive Growth in Rich Countries</em> links this phenomenon with stagnation in wages and incomes for ordinary working households in order to address the challenge of promoting growth and prosperity. <p/>The concentration of wealth at the top of society is now seen as a threat to social and political stability. <em>Inequality and Inclusive Growth in Rich Countries</em> aims to identify what structures and policies are associated with success or failure in limiting the rise in inequality and promoting income growth for those in the middle and lower reaches of the income distribution. It analyses the varying experiences of ten rich countries over recent decades in depth, revealing that there are indeed responses that governments and societies can adopt, and that stagnation and rising inequality do not have to be accepted, but can be combatted given the political will and capacity.<br>
