About the book
Edward Conard argues that income inequality, although problematic in excess, is an essential engine of innovation, economic growth and improved standards of living. The book examines how the incentives created by differences in rewards drive technological and business progress.
A perspective contrary to the prevailing egalitarian discourse, supported by economic analyses and historical cases, that seeks to reopen the debate on the role of inequality in modern society.
