global inequality / *Capitalism, Alone*

Branko Milanovic is a senior scholar at the Stone Centre on Socio-Economic Inequality at the CUNY Graduate Center and a former lead economist at the World Bank's research division. He is best known for constructing the 'elephant curve' of global income growth and for *Capitalism, Alone* (2019), which argues that liberal and political capitalism are the only systemic options left. His empirical work reshaped how economists measure inequality between—rather than within—nations.
