Journal of Income Distribution

AIMS AND SCOPE
The Journal of Income Distribution (JID) aims to facilitate communication and discussion on research in the field of social economics and particularly in the sphere of the distribution of income and wealth. Its intention is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of the results of scholarly work in this field.

We are living in a strange world. We see wonderful new technologies capable of providing plenty amidst poverty and destitution. We have developed marvellous media for information exchange on a global basis, and yet we find a world steeped in ignorance. We abide in an economic system which allows individuals to find their places in society on the basis of competitive ability but provides little if any means to protect the environment and society as a whole from collective hazards and inequity.

There is a profusion of scholarly economic research dealing with these issues but few theoretically truly pluralistic social scientific journals. For this reason the Editors and the International Centre for Social Economics have sought to provide economists of every school of thought, as well as historians and sociologists, with a forum to publish their scientific work on the relationships between economic growth and income distribution.
