      abstract = {"This is an original endeavor. It is rare that we have an  emerging scholarly field treated in this way, and the value  of this project lies in bringing these authors together and  to the attention of a wide academic audience." Pedro Ramos  Pinto, Associate Professor, University of Cambridge, UK  "This book provides readers with a valuable overview of the  current state of the field of studying global economic  inequality. By bringing together various approaches from  different theoretical and ideological perspectives, it  serves as a crucial guide to understanding the various  global facets of economic inequality. This book is  essential reading and an enduring reference for future  inequality research." Michael J. Thompson, Professor,  William Paterson University, USA Comprising a collection of  interview essays with nineteen public intellectuals and  scholars from around the world, this book reflects on some  of the most pressing questions of our age: what is global  inequality; what causes it; and how should we deal with it?  Leading figures within the fields of History, Sociology,  Economics, Anthropology and Postcolonial Studies, shed  light on how their personal backgrounds, places of work,  and hometowns have shaped their views on global inequality.  We learn about the causes of global inequality, the  historical factors that have shaped the world into an  unequal place, and the challenges that humanity is  confronted with in the face of the widening gap between the  poor and the rich. Bringing together voices from the Global  North and South, this book helps us to think more broadly  about inequality and deepens our understanding of how this  long-lasting phenomenon is, and has been, experienced  across the globe.
