Approaching Equality is written by Roger A. McCain and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1786431440 (ISBN 10) and 9781786431448 (ISBN 13).

Drawing on some recent research (especially that of Piketty and his associates) and on older ideas (particularly from Sir Arthur Lewis), Roger McCain proposes policies that, together, would aim to reverse the observed tendency towards the concentration of wealth in market economies, thus ‘approach equality.’ The shortcomings and dangers of rising wealth inequality are discussed, both from the point of view of increasing instability and of equalitarian values.
