Worlds Apart
How unequal is the world, and how should we measure it? An economist's careful answer.
Branko Milanovic sets out how to measure inequality between countries and between all the world’s people. He distinguishes three concepts of inequality, shows how the choice between them changes the answer, and uses household survey data from around the world to estimate global income distribution. The book is written for economists but explains its methods clearly.
