The Haves And The Have Nots by Branko Milanović
A Brief and Idiosyncratic History of Global Inequality
An accessible tour of global income inequality, blending data-driven analysis with historical and literary vignettes to explain how and why disparities arise within and between nations. It clarifies key concepts and measures, shows how place of birth shapes life chances, and compares living standards across eras and societies. Through case studies and thought experiments, it explores the roles of globalization, migration, technology, and policy, prompting a reconsideration of fairness, the middle class, and what rising prosperity means in a deeply unequal world.
