Book review: Joseph E. Stiglitz, The Price of Inequality: How Today’s Divided Society Endangers Our Future

The book entitled “The Price of Inequality: How Today’s Divided Society Endangers Our Future” by Joseph E. Stiglitz is one of the four published books covering the topic of inequality in 2012. It contains ten interconnected chapters on 414 pages (including the cover page and the title page). Along with the ten chapters, the book also has Preface, Acknowledgments, Notes and Index. The text is not burdened by graphic elements and, therefore, the book does not contain tables, charts, pictures and diagrams, which may be considered an advantage, but some readers might fi nd it a disadvantage. It is, however, important to note that the manner of presentation of the subject matter in the book is a sort of a methodological approach. Namely, as a rule, the author does not cite his own documentation for each statement, but rather refers to several related scientifi c studies. Therefore, the book contains about a hundred pages of notes. Such methodological approach in book-writing is quite unique.
