What if one were to use metropolitan statistical area (MSA) data instead of nationwide data to study income redistribution? Might this reveal that certain regions or MSAs within regions are "hot beds" of income inequality? Can patterns of income inequality be discerned within MSAs, e.g., between central cities and suburbs? If so, what local characteristics influence income inequality? Janice F.

This thorough analysis of Malaysia’s economic expansion evaluates the success of the government’s New Economic Policy (NEP), which was designed to promote national unity by reducing poverty as well as by loosening the link between ethnicity and economic function. The first comprehensive analysis of income distribution trends after the inauguration of the NEP, the study also considers interethnic, urban-rural, and regional variations over time.

What they get is cash income, leisure time, property, and other forms of wealth. This volume explains the dynamics of income generation, how it is measured, and how such dramatic disparities in distribution come about. Citing numerous cases of distortion in the popular press,
