In questo articolo vengono prese in considerazione le seguenti materie: una rassegna dei risultati della ricerca sulla relazione tra disuguaglianza e crescita economica, giustizia sociale e l’ipotesi del livello ottimale di differenzia-zione del reddito, i canali dell’influenza dell’ineguaglianza sull’ambiente, un caso studio dell’Ucraina.
