From the PublisherNew York Times Book Review
"[A]n eclectic book on inequality…. [Milanovic's] colorful vignettes…are almost uniformly delightful. No matter where you are on the income ladder, Milanovic's examination of whether Bill Gates is richer than Nero makes for great cocktail party conversation."

New York Journal of Books
"[Branko Milanovic] has fun with economics…. Behind the fun are some serious concerns about growing global income inequality…. And underlying the fun facts is a prodigious amount of research: everything from demographic patterns in 13th century Paris to interest rates in ancient Rome."

Library Journal
"[A]n innovative look at price and consumption differences…. Students, practitioners, and anyone interested in economics and the issue of inequality would enjoy this.
