Inflation, Inequality, Nanotechnology, and Development

High inflation, rising unemployment, and deteriorating inequalities are among the biggest problems facing the globe. Inflation and unemployment exert an upward influence on income inequality and reinforces social inequality. Given that ascending inflation disproportionately impacts individuals with limited financial means, the sharp increase in energy prices, which has also pushed up food prices during 2022-2023, has hit poorer households particularly hard. Inflationary pressures are gradually easing, but core inflation remains elevated and more stubborn than expected. Bitter and bloody wars in Ukraine since February 2022 and the Gaza Strip since October 2023 have cost many lives and devastated many others. The rising geopolitical tensions, and tighter monetary policy are likely to have negative effects on global trade and there is a high risk of rising unemployment and worsening inequalities both within and between countries. This edited book looks for solutions to the problems of inflation, employment, and inequality.
