Abstract: Abstract This paper is an introduction to a special issue of the Journal of Economic Inequality which contains a selection of articles published in the Journal which bring economic perspectives and methods to bear on dimensions of inequality highlighted in the Sustainable Development Goals. The papers show that the study of economic inequality has much to contribute to the global policy discourse which is underpinned by the SDGs.
