On Economic Inequality [книги]
Опубликовано на портале: 06-01-2004
James E. Foster, Amartya Sen
Oxford: Claredon Press, 1997
In this classic text, first published in 1973, Amartya Sen relates the theory of
welfare economics to the study of economic inequality. He presents a systematic treatment
of the conceptual framework as well as the practical problems of measurement of inequality.
In his masterful analysis, Sen assesses various approaches to measuring inequality
and delineates the causes and effects of economic disparities. Containing the four
lectures from the original edition as well as a new introduction, this timeless study
is essential reading for economists, philosophers, and social scientists.
In a new introduction, Amartya Sen, jointly with James Foster, critically surveys the literature that followed the publication of this book, and also evaluates the main analytical issues in the appraisal of economic inequality and poverty.
