Books by A. B. Atkinson

His new book Inequality: What Can Be Done? , is out mid-May but already available in some bookstores.  Here is an interview with Atkinson .  I thought this book did not take sufficient care with some very basic distinctions, such as the difference between a problem of poverty and a problem of inequality.   Nor does it put enough emphasis on wealth creation, or explain why Korean-Americans have done pretty well over the last thirty years, among other possible examples.
