In 'The Great Escape', Angus Deaton explores the history of material progress and how it has contributed to global inequality. He analyzes how advances in medicine have improved health and access to basic goods, but have also widened the gap between countries and within them. Deaton examines the escape routes that generate opportunities in a globalized world, highlighting that not all countries are equally prepared to take advantage of them. This essay offers a socio-historical reconstruction of the development of well-being, based on demographic data and income distribution statistics, and was recognized as one of the best books in economics and economic history in 2013.
