The studies cover quite a broad set of issues affecting inequality ... The research agenda of these studies is rich and ambitious.
The volume has many merits. All of the papers are well written, substantial, methodologically solid, and quite readable at the Masters level.
... a valuable addition to the literature ... a collection on a mix of topics, with some papers you will want to refer back to and several that will likely give rise to extensive further studies.
