With the growth of capitalism across the globe, inequalities of income, wealth and power became increasingly extreme. Written by economist Douglas Dowd, this book shows that the present banking crisis is the result of the growth of inequality across the globe. The expansion of the financial sector has brought incredible riches to a select few, at the expense of the majority. Inequality was ignored, or described as a necessary aspect of a booming global economy. With the collapse of the world markets, the fallacy of this position is clear. Inequality and the Global Economic Crisis shows how it is only by addressing inequality that we can secure the health of our economies in the future.--Publisher. 0aFinancial crises. 0aIncome distribution. 0aEqualityxEconomic aspects. 0aGlobalizationxEconomic aspects. 0aCapitalism. 0aPoverty. 0aBig business.  a = C.1 SDU  cGBE2lcc  c102649d102649  00102lcc406HB3722 D745 I2009708CGB9285124aSDUbSDUcGEN3d2025-10-22e2l0oHB3722 D745 I 2009p1000361558r2025-10-22 00:00:00tC.1w2025-10-22yGBE
