«The Price of Inequality» is the economic essay by Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz, published by Penguin UK in paperback (523 pages, in English).
Stiglitz analyzes the causes of economic inequality and its consequences for capitalism and democracy. He argues that, without intervention, markets are neither efficient nor stable: wealth accumulates in the richest 1%, growth slows and GDP falls. Policy often worsens the problem, and the author proposes reforms to increase social mobility.
The book received the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award in 2013; this edition was published in April 2013.
Aimed at readers of economics, politics and sociology interested in the debate on inequality and social justice.
