| Synopsis: |
Is Canada becoming a more polarized society? Or is it a kind-heartednation that takes care of its disadvantaged? This volume closelyexamines these differing views through a careful analysis of thecauses, trends, and dimensions of inequality to provide an overallassessment of the state of inequality in Canada. Contributors includeeconomists, sociologists, philosophers, and political scientists, andthe discussion ranges from frameworks for thinking about inequality, tooriginal analyses using Canadian data, to assessments of significantpolicy issues, methodologies, and research directions. What emerges isthe most detailed picture of inequality in Canada to date and,disturbingly, one that shows signs of us becoming a less justsociety.An invaluable source of information for policy makers, researchers,and students from a broad variety of disciplines, Dimensions ofInequality in Canada will also appeal to readers interested orinvolved in public debates over inequality. |
