Designing global economic equality : the making and unmaking of global egalitarian politics at the United Nations : an intellectual historyChristiansen, Christian OlafEnglishBookDesigning Global Economic Equality is an intellectual history of global inequality: a story of the rise and fall of ideas for global egalitarian politics, or global equality by design. Tracing the writings of United Nations thinkers and their intellectual environments, it contributes to historiographies on inequality, the UN, development, international relations theory, business in society, and neoliberalism. Drawing on sources from development economics, political science, and international relations to UN reports, newspaper articles, management literature, and interviews with contemporary UN experts, it investigates how vocabularies of global inequality shifted over time.2026New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2026]©2026Equality—Economic aspects—HistoryUnited NationsBook9780197811498
