Inequality in the world. The emergence of a political idea in the 20th century
Résumé
Controversial indicators of standards of living lie at the heart of inequality issues. A history of international comparisons of living conditions shows that these indicators definitely help change how the world is seen and whether human rights are recognized. By putting everyone into a space of equivalence that enables quantification, statistics serve as new tools for generating discussion about the reconfiguration of power relationships.
