Journal of Income Distribution aims to facilitate communication and discussion on research in the field of social economics and particularly in the sphere of the distribution of income and wealth. JID provides empirical research and theoretical perspectives that attempt to reach all branches of the social sciences, and especially all points of view within economics. The Editors and the International Centre for Social Economics, by means of JID, seek to provide economists of every school of thought, as well as historians and sociologists, with a forum to publish their scientific work on the relationships between economic growth, social systems, and income distribution.
