Book Description: Income Inequality, Economic Disparities, and the Middle Class in Affluent Countries: Studies in Social Inequality Author(s): Various scholars in the field of economic inequality Publication Date: [Insert date] Pages: [Insert number of pages] Publisher: [Insert publisher's name] Summary: This state-of-the-art volume presents comparative empirical research on a topic that has long preoccupied scholars, politicians, and everyday people - income and wealth inequality. While the primary focus is on income and wealth inequality across all populations, the contributions to this book pay special attention to the middle class, a segment often not addressed in inequality literature. Written by leading scholars in the field of economic inequality, all 17 chapters draw on microdata from the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS), an esteemed cross-national data center based in Luxembourg. Using LIS data to structure a comparative approach, the contributors paint a complex portrait of inequality across affluent countries at the beginning of the 21st century.
