"The World Inequality Lab gathers social scientists committed to helping everyone understand the drivers of inequality worldwide through evidence-based research.

The World Inequality Lab hosts the World Inequality Database, the most extensive public database on global inequality dynamics. Their main missions are: 

  • The extension of the World Inequality Database
  • The publication of working papers, reports and methodological handbooks
  • The dissemination in academic circles and public debate

Comment from our editors:

The World Inequality Lab is a key address worth checking out if you are interested in understanding (economic) inequality and its origins/causes from a data-driven/empirical perspective. In addition to their world-renowned World Inequality Database and an intuitive interface that provides specialists as well as non-specialists the opportunity to explore inequality patterns, the World Inequality Lab website also provides access to multiple reports and studies related related to analyzing inequality in its various forms. Reflecting their mission to empower civil society both the database and the analysis build upon it, are not only relevant for researchers, but also for policy-makers, activists and campaigners working toward minimizing inequalities in the real world.

The Age of Uncertainty Episode 2 - The Manners and Morals of High Capitalism
Level: débutant
The Age of Uncertainty Episode 2 - The Manners and Morals of High Capitalism
Galbraith first explores the social darwinism of Herbert Spencer and others that served as apology for the highly unequal distribution of wealth in the US at the end of the 19th century and naturalized differences in wealth by appealing to the concept of natural selection of the fittest. Then some instances of the unscrupulous business practices (i.e. robberies) of the American railroad tycoons and other business magnates are recounted. Lastly, Galbraith lines out some of the arguments of Thorstein Veblen, who delegitimized and ridiculed the business and leisure activities of the rich by putting them in the same category as predatory and ritualized practices of primitive or ancient societies.

Aux origines de l’analyse économique des crises
L'article de Carmen Guy présente les textes pionniers de l'analyse économique des crises. L'autrice montre que l’étude des crises économiques a nécessité dès le début une approche interdisciplinaire, intégrant dans un premier temps l’histoire et la statistique et ensuite la sociologie.
