World Inequality Report 2022
Produced by a team of world-leading economists, this is the benchmark account of recent and historical trends in inequality. World Inequality Report 2022 is the most authoritative and comprehensive account available of global trends in inequality.Researched, compiled, and written by a team of world-leading economists, the report builds on the pioneering edition of 2018 to provide policy makers and scholars everywhere up-to-date information about an ever broader range of countries and about forms of inequality that researchers have previously ignored or found hard to trace. Over the past decade, inequality has taken center stage in public debate as the wealthiest people in most parts of the world have seen their share of the economy soar relative to that of others.The resulting political and social pressures have posed harsh new challenges for governments and created a pressing demand for reliable data.The World Inequality Lab, housed at the Paris School of Economics and the University of California, Berkeley, has answered this call by coordinating research into the latest trends in the accumulation and distribution of income and wealth on every continent.This new report not only extends the lab’s international reach but provides crucial new information about the history of inequality, gender inequality, environmental inequalities, and trends in international tax reform and redistribution. World Inequality Report 2022 will be a key document for anyone concerned about one of the most imperative and contentious subjects in contemporary politics and economics.

Global Justice and the Biodiversity Crisis : Conservation in a World of Inequality
The world is in the midst of a biodiversity crisis, which existing conservation policies have failed to arrest.Policymakers, academics, and the general public are coming to recognise that much more ambitious conservation policies are in order.But biodiversity conservation raises major issues of global justice - even if the connection between conservation and global justice is too seldom made. The lion's share of conservation funding is spent in the global North, despite the fact that most biodiversity exists in the global South, and local people can often scarcely afford to make sacrifices in the interests of biodiversity conservation.Many responses to the biodiversity crisis threaten to exacerbate existing global injustices, to lock people into poverty, and to exploit the world's poor.At the extreme, policies aimed at protecting biodiversity have also been associated with exclusion, dispossession, and violence.The challenge this book grapples with is how biodiversity might be conserved without producing global injustice.It distinguishes policies which are likely to exacerbate global injustice, and policies which promise to reduce them.The struggle to formulate and implement just conservation policies is vital to our planet's future.

Inequality in the Developing World
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 IGO licence.It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.Inequality has emerged as a key development challenge.It holds implications for economic growth and redistribution and translates into power asymmetries that can endanger human rights, create conflict, and embed social exclusion and chronic poverty.For these reasons, it underpins intense public and academic debates and has become a dominant policy concern within many countries and in all multilateral agencies.It is at the core of the 17 goals of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.This book contributes to this important discussion by presenting assessments of the measurement and analysis of global inequality by leading inequality scholars, aligning these to comprehensive reviews of inequality trends in five of the world's largest developing countries--Brazil, China, India, Mexico, and South Africa.Each is a persistently high or newly high inequality context and, with the changing global inequality situation as context, country chapters investigate the main factors shaping their different inequality dynamics.Particular attention is paid to how broader societal inequalities arising outside of the labour market have intersected with the rapidly changing labour market milieus of the last few decades.Collectively, these chapters provide a nuanced discussion of key distributive phenomena such as the high concentration of income among the most affluent people, gender inequalities, and social mobility.Substantive tax and social benefit policies that each country implemented to mitigate these inequality dynamics are assessed in detail.The book takes lessons from these contexts back into the global analysis of inequality and social mobility and the policies needed to address inequality.

How are social inequality and educational inequality related?
Social inequality and educational inequality are closely related as they often reinforce each other. Individuals from marginalized or disadvantaged social groups, such as low-income families or minority communities, tend to have limited access to quality education due to factors like lack of resources, discrimination, or systemic barriers. This lack of educational opportunities then perpetuates social inequality by limiting their ability to secure better jobs, higher incomes, and improved social status. Addressing educational inequality is crucial in breaking this cycle and promoting social mobility and equality.

What is inequality?
Inequality refers to the unequal distribution of resources, opportunities, and privileges among individuals or groups within a society. This can manifest in various forms, such as economic inequality, social inequality, and political inequality. It often results in disparities in income, education, healthcare, and access to basic necessities, leading to a lack of equal opportunities and outcomes for different segments of the population. Addressing inequality is crucial for creating a fair and just society where everyone has the chance to thrive and reach their full potential.

How do I solve the inequality and what is an inequality?
An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two quantities using symbols such as < (less than), > (greater than), ≤ (less than or equal to), or ≥ (greater than or equal to). To solve an inequality, you need to isolate the variable on one side of the inequality sign. You can do this by performing the same operations on both sides of the inequality, just like you would with an equation. However, if you multiply or divide by a negative number, you need to reverse the inequality sign. Once you have isolated the variable, you can determine the range of values that satisfy the inequality.

What is social inequality?
Social inequality refers to the unequal distribution of resources, opportunities, and privileges within a society. It can manifest in various forms such as income inequality, educational disparities, and unequal access to healthcare. Social inequality is often perpetuated by systemic factors such as discrimination, prejudice, and institutional barriers, leading to marginalized groups facing disadvantages and barriers to social mobility. Addressing social inequality requires systemic changes to create a more equitable society where all individuals have equal opportunities to thrive.

Broken City : Land Speculation, Inequality, and Urban Crisis
How can urban housing, and the land underneath, now account for half of all global wealth?According to Patrick Condon, the simple answer is that land has become an asset rather than a utility.If the rich only indulged themselves with gold, jewels, and art, we wouldn’t have a global housing crisis.But once global capital markets realized land was a good speculative investment, runaway housing costs ensued.In just one city, Vancouver, land prices increased by 600 percent between 2008 and 2016.How much wealth have investors extracted from urban land?In this engaging, readable, and clearly reasoned treatise, Patrick Condon explains how we have let land, our most durable resource, shift away from the common good – and proposes bold strategies that cities in North America could use to shift it back.

"Is this inequality true?"
To determine if an inequality is true, you can substitute a value into the inequality and see if it holds true. For example, if the inequality is 3x + 2 > 10, you can choose a value for x, such as x = 3, and then substitute it into the inequality to see if it holds true. If 3(3) + 2 is indeed greater than 10, then the inequality is true. If not, then the inequality is false.
