Abstract:

This volume surveys and combines the different dimensions of globalization so as to propose a general
diagnosis of the way they interact to explain growing inequality in advanced economies. The extant
economic literature has widely analysed (i) the impact on inequality of trade between advanced and
emerging countries (North-South Trade), particularly offshoring, (ii) the impact of tax base mobility on
tax competition and (iii) the globalization-driven constraints on social policies and labour market
institutions. Those three strands of analysis and the related literature have been reviewed in a number
of surveys but have not been combined to provide an extensive study of the impact of their interactions
on inequality. This volume fills that gap. Providing a general diagnosis of the globalization-inequality
nexus within advanced economies and opening new avenues for research and potential reforms, this
book will be of interest to researchers and students of economics and the social sciences.
