Abstract

The book by Professor Branko Milanovic, entitled “Visions of Inequality: From the French Revolution to the End of the Cold War” follows inequality from the point of view of economic population and distribution over a period of about 200 years. The evolution of economic thought begins with the scientific work of François Quesnay, followed by Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Karl Marx, Vilfredo Pareto and Simon Kuznets. The book is a scientific study, but also an interesting read, which depicts inequality throughout the centuries in an interesting and colourful way. What is more, inequality is the topic that professor Milanovic has been dealing with for decades.
