Social Democracy and the Problem of Equality: Economic Analysis and Political Argument in the United Kingdom
考察英国社会民主思想中关于不平等的演变,并将其与经济学内部相关争论的变化联系起来,重点分析托尼·阿特金森的理论与政策影响。
In the context of the recent spread of public and academic concern with economic inequality, this paper examines the evolution of British social democratic thinking about inequality, linking this evolution to the changing debates within economics on this issue. The discussion of the economics of inequality focusses upon the pivotal figure of Tony Atkinson, the most important British economic theorist of inequality, but also an important figure in policy debate since the 1970s.
