THE POLITICAL DIMENSION OF INEQUALITY DURING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Denis Cogneau ()

Region et Developpement, 2012, vol. 35, 11-36

Abstract: European Enlightenment thinkers were right in stressing the political dimension of inequality, rather than referring to "natural differences" as some others did after them in the 19th or 20th centuries. Drawing from recent theoretical and empirical contributions in social sciences and in particular in economics, I try to sketch the lines of a research program dedicated to the politics of inequality on the one hand, to political inequalities on the other hand.
