“DFI and Oxfam’s insightful investigation into what governments are doing to reduce inequality could not have come at a better time. Based on systematic and scientific use of the data, it provides an urgent wake-up call to all governments about what they can do to change their tax, spending, and labour policies.”
Jayati Ghosh, Professor, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA
