"The Political Origins of Inequality makes the bold claim that popular thinking on global development is profoundly and fundamentally flawed because many of the economists who have written many of the best sellers have often been shortsighted. This is an important book about big issues, dismissive of facile solutions, it should change the terms of the debate on why the gaps between us are so wide and what we could do about them."-Danny Dorling, author of Injustice: Why Social Inequality Still Persists; "An important reminder that the historical origins of today's crushing burden of global and national inequality are political, and so too must be the solutions."-Duncan Green, head of research, Oxfam GB
