But countries have responded differently, reflecting differences in their domestic politics.

Government programs are no longer offsetting the growth in inequality generated by the market, and Canadian society has become more unequal. The redistributive state is fading due to powerful forces that have reshaped the politics of social policy, including global economic pressures, ideological change, shifts in the influence of business and labour, changes in the party system, and the decline of equality-seeking civil society organizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume demonstrates conclusively that action and inaction -- policy change and policy drift -- are at the heart of growing inequality, calling into question Canada's record as a kinder, gentler nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Introduction: Inequality and the Fading of Redistributive Politics \/ \u003cem\u003eKeith Banting and John Myles\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: Politics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Historical Transformations of Canada's Social Architecture: Institutions, Instruments, and Ideas \/ \u003cem\u003eJane Jenson\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Drivers of Increasing Market Income Inequality: Structural Change and Policy \/ \u003cem\u003eDavid A.
