Summary:This volume of essays builds upon renewed interest in the long-run global development of wealth and inequality stimulated by the publication of Thomas Piketty's 'Capital in the Twenty-First Century'. It brings together an international team of leading economic historians and economists to provide an overview of global developments in the theory and reality of inequality and its salience in the modern world order. The contributors take stock of the key concepts involved in contemporary debates - capital, wealth and income distribution, economic development, private and collective assets, financialization, global liberalisation - and evaluate the evidence for both common and contrasting historical trends in national statistical data sources
