The book "Poverty and Inequality" edited by David B. Grusky brings together influential public intellectuals, including Amartya Sen, Martha C. Nussbaum, François Bourguignon, William J. Wilson, Douglas S. Massey, and Martha A. Fineman. The volume critically assesses current analytical perspectives on poverty and inequality, highlighting the need for a reevaluation given the changing landscape of global inequality.
