<br/><br/> 	<br/>"This study addresses three questions: Why do inequalities matter for Brazil's development? Why does Brazil occupy a position of very high inequality in the international community? What should public policy do about it?" "Excessive income inequality is unfair and undesirable on ethical grounds and can bring adverse effects on economic growth, health outcomes, social cohesion, and crime. Brazil's excessive income inequality is associated to regressive public transfers, less equitable distribution of education, and higher wage differentials."--Jacket.
