Inequality: What Can Be Done?
by Anthony B. Atkinson
April 18, 2017 - April 21, 2017 (read/capitalism-etc/dissertation/owned-ebooks)

the problem with this book is that he doesn't actually talk about Marx or even neoliberalism at all (I checked the index) and so while that does make it (perhaps) more palatable for the general reader, it also waters it down too much for my liking
