Deprivation, Inequality and Polarization Essays in Honour of Satya Ranjan Chakravarty

Economic Studies in Inequality, Social Exclusion and Well-Being Series Editor Jacques Silber, Ramat Gan, Israel

Traditionally, economists have identified well-being with market command over goods rather than with the “state” of a person. The books in this series go precisely beyond the traditional concepts of consumption, income or wealth and offer a broad, inclusive view of inequality and well-being. Topics include, but are not limited to: Capabilities and Inequalities, Discrimination and Segregation in the Labour Market, Equality of Opportunities, Globalization and Inequality, Human Development and the Quality of Life, Income and Social Mobility, Inequality and Development, Inequality and Happiness, Inequality and Malnutrition, Income and Social Mobility, Inequality in Consumption and Time Use, Inequalities in Health and Education, Multidimensional Inequality and Poverty Measurement, Polarization, Poverty among Children and Elderly People, Social Policy and the Welfare State, and Wealth Distribution.
