Dimensions <strong>of</strong> <strong>In</strong>equality in Canada<br />
Edited by David A. Green and Jonathan R. Kesselman<br />
Together, these essays provide both a complex account<br />
<strong>of</strong> inequality and assessments <strong>of</strong> various policies that<br />
address it. Much <strong>of</strong> the collection’s writing is technical<br />
and the arguments complex, but it is perfectly accessible<br />
to any interested reader.<br />
