In this volume a distinguished team of international contributors consider some of the central long-term issues raised by the problem of income distribution. The Kuznets curve-i. e. the notion that income distribution became increasingly unequal during the period of industrialization, and progressively less unequal during the twentieth century-lies at the center of much of the analysis, and its relevance is discussed in a wide-ranging series of articles covering the British, Belgian, German, Australian, Austrian and American experiences. This volume is the first in many years to take such a broad, comparative approach to income distribution, and makes an important and authoritative contribution to an area of perennial debate. | Income Distribution in Historical Perspective by Y.
