The recent surge of inequality in the West has been driven by the revolution in technology, just as the Industrial Revolution drove inequality 150 years ago. Drawing on vast data sets and cutting-edge research, Milanović explains the benign and malign forces that make inequality rise and fall within and among nations. He reveals who has been helped the most by globalization, who has been held back, and what policies might tilt the balance toward economic justice.
