Abstract
This slim book started out life without its being intended to be a book at all. It has grown mainly out of a selection of columns that I wrote between 2016 and 2018, first for the Chandigarh-based Tribune newspaper and then for the economics/finance daily Livemint. I am very grateful to Harish Khare, Former Editor of The Tribune, for inviting me to write a regular bimonthly column on economics-related issues for his newspaper and to Niranjan Rajadhyaksha, Former Editor of Livemint, for readily acquiescing with the notion of my writing a ten-part series of brief essays on various aspects of economic inequality for his daily.
