This volume contains an excellent collection of chapters by outstanding economists on the subject of social and economic well-being. Among the authors are Lars Osberg, Carlos Gradin, Olga Canto, and Jacques Silber, with a first-rate overview provided by Conchita D'Ambrosio. The chapters are paired, with a theoretical analysis followed by an empirical implementation. Topics include well-being measures going beyond GDP, human development and poverty, multidimensional poverty and material deprivation, social exclusion, economic insecurity, relative deprivation and satisfaction, social inequality, social polarization, and segregation.'--Edward N. Wolff, New York University, US'This Handbook updates and modernizes decades of scholarship on macro-level markers of progress and micro-level measures of well-being. Its main contribution is its insistence on integrating non-traditional frameworks into conventional approaches to defining, measuring, and tracking socio-economic outcomes at multiple levels. This sophisticated collection spans a remarkable array of outcomes, dimensions, and indicators, including poverty, deprivation, development, exclusion, polarization, segregation, diversity, vulnerability, insecurity, and satisfaction. D'Ambrosio's ambitious decision to pair theoretical and empirical analyses of each topic pays off beautifully.'--Janet C. Gornick, City University of New York, Graduate Center, US
