Economic Inequality, Political Inclusion and Public Finance, edited by Lucia Dalla Pellegrina, Alessandra Michelangeli and Giulio Ongaro, is available as an e-book; it brings together the papers presented at the conference of the same name. The book explores the theme of economic inequality from a multidisciplinary perspective, weaving together economic history, public economics and social economics, from the Italian Renaissance to 18th-century Venice, right up to contemporary challenges: the energy transition, educational inequalities, NEETs, local social investment and working conditions in Europe. This volume combines historical perspective with empirical analysis to investigate how political inclusion, institutions and public finance shape the distribution of wealth and opportunities over time.
