Social Inequality. Values, Growth and the State, edited by Andrés Solimano, The University Michigan Press, Ann Arbor, 1998.

This volume takes a comprehensive view of social inequality by focusing on three dimensions: (1) inequality as a philosophical and economic issue that raises fundamental questions about human nature, economic systems, and social organization; (2) the interdependence of basic goals in the development strategy, such as economic growth, macroeconomic stability, improvement in living standards, and social inequality; and (3) the impact of policies aimed at reducing inequality and improving social conditions on the size and effectiveness of the state.
