The cost of inequality : why equality is essential for recovery (Rev. [ed.])

See all formats and editions

How are we to regain economic growth? In this seminal new book based on 60 years of data, economist Stewart Lansley shows that economic equality is necessary for economic growth.

In order to regain growth in the west, we need to dismantle the economy of the rich if we want to prevent a permanent recession.
