Sustainable Development Goals and Income Inequality

Edited by Peter Bergeijk and Rolph van der Hoeven

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This timely book documents and analyses the seriousness of growing national inequality in different regions around the world. It argues that the treatment of inequality in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is wholly insufficient due to their failure to recognise the growing difference between the income of work and the income of capital and the super rich, and the strain this places on a country’s social fabric.
