"The Poverty and Shared Prosperity series provides a global audience with the latest and most accurate estimates on trends in global poverty and shared prosperity, as well as in-depth research into policies and interventions that can make a difference for the worlds poorest. The 2016 edition takes a close look at the role that inequality reduction plays in ending extreme poverty and improving the livelihoods of the poorest in every country. It looks at recent country experiences that have been successful in reducing inequality, provides key lessons from those experiences, and synthesizes the rigorous evidence on public policies that can shift inequality in a way that bolsters poverty reduction and shared prosperity in a sustainable manner. In doing so, the report addresses some myths about the global picture of inequality, and what works to reduce it."--Overview

We propose an innovative methodology to measure inequality between cities. If an even distribution of amenities across cities is assumed to increase the average well-being in a given country, inequality between cities can be evaluated through a multidimensional index of the Atkinson (1970) type. This index is shown to be decomposabe into the sum of inequality indices computed on the marginal distributions of the amenities across cities, plus a residual term accounting for their correlation. We apply this methodology to assess inequality between Italian cities in terms of the distribution of public infrastructures, local services, economic and environmental conditions.

In discussing inequality under capitalism, we must distinguish between 'stock inequality' and 'flow inequality', or inequality in wealth and inequality in incomes. We also have to be clear whether our focus is the capitalist sector proper, consisting only of the workers and the capitalists, or the capitalist sector together with the setting in which it exists, which includes its pre-capitalist surroundings. This article argues that the focus must be wider, encompassing the capitalist sector together with its setting. Over this wider terrain, wealth inequality has a tendency to increase over time not only because of 'centralization of capital' highlighted by Marx but also because of the dispossession of petty producers, the so-called 'primitive accumulation of capital', which continues throughout the history of capitalism. Primitive accumulation also ensures the existence of a persistently large reserve army of labour which keeps down real wages even as labour productivity increases, resulting in an increase over time in income inequality as well.

Der Verfasser geht davon aus, dass sich moderne Gesellschaften als Wissens- oder lernende Gesellschaften selbst thematisieren. Aber: Ein Wissen funktioniert nicht im Vakuum, sondern wird durch die kapitalistische Struktur gerahmt. Diese Rahmung bezieht sich auch auf das Wissen, das im politischen Bereich in der Gestalt von Kontroversen generiert wird. Ein konkretes Beispiel, worauf im Beitrag Bezug genommen wird, ist die bildungspolitische Diskussion, deren Dynamik präsentiert wird. Eine Kerndimension dieser Diskussion ist die Frage nach der Verteilung der Verantwortung für die Ergebnisse des Bildungswesens zwischen den Individuen und der Gesellschaft. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird die Zielsetzung der Dynamik des Bildungswesens in Dänemark analysiert. Der Autor argumentiert, dass es sich dabei um einen zentralen Gesellschaftsbereich handelt, der Legitimationsressourcen für die Selbstthematisierung der dänischen Gesellschaft als Wissensgesellschaft liefert. In diesem Sinne sind seine Ergebnisse nicht nur für den Arbeitsmarkt und für den Arbeitsplatz relevant, sondern vor allem für die Reproduktion eines bestimmten Gesellschaftsmodells, das durch spezifische Muster sozialer Ungleichheit gekennzeichnet ist.
