Quatrième de couverture

The book offers a clear understanding of recent international trends in dealing with rising inequalities in capitalist societies.

In an era characterized worldwide by great uncertainty and deep economic and social transformations, the aim is to deepen our knowledge on the state of the art, on the main causes that increase the growth of inequalities and generate new ones, to analyse the role of the main actors, public policies and to contrast strategies in order to identify best practices and possible paths of economic, social and civil development.

The idea is that a closer link between the market economy and society as a whole might support the ongoing process of restructuring social and capitalism models, as we have known them so far. The international dimension and the comparative approach between European and Latin American countries represent an added value that opens new perspectives of analysis and research investigation.
