Inequality is a major problem of today’s capitalism. The rise of disparities in income and wealth has been documented by many studies. Mario Pianta's most recent book 'Explaining Inequality' starts with a concise and updated overview of ideas and facts. The explanation of these developments points to four 'engines of inequality' – the power of capital over labour, the rise of 'oligarchs capitalism', the individualisation of economic conditions, and the retreat of politics. They have changed the way capitalism (and politics) works, leading to escalating inequalities. The interpretation provided leads to a set of policy proposals for reversing inequality.
