The central subject of the class is income and wealth inequality. Inequality has become a much more important topic in the press, social networks and academic publications over the last decade. The course deals with the methodology used in the work on inequality, the main data sources, the most important theories that have been put forward to explain income and wealth distribution –from the physiocrats until the present--, and the long-run evolution of inequality both within countries and at the world level. It is aimed at providing students with the analytical tools to engage with the academic and policy debate around the topic of inequality.
Regular students at the University (students who are studying for an undergraduate or graduate degree) will not be able to register through the Educación Continua for this course. In case of registration, the Management will proceed with its return.
