Reviews

The Origins of Inequality. Mechanisms, Models, Policy is a thoughtful and thought-provoking survey of studies on the causes, conditions and factors associated with inequality. Viewed as a survey it is quite comprehensive and suitable for independent study as well as for classroom use. ... Molander aims at - and to a large extent succeeds in - making sense of the processes that result in inequalities. ... Molander makes a strong case to the contrary. The case is well worth studying in detail. (Hannu Nurmi, The Journal of Economic Inequality, Vol. 20, 2022)
