HHB is delighted to announce that Sir Tony Atkinson - Fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford, and Centennial Professor at the London School of Economics - is now part of the HHB Advisory Board.

Prof. Atkinson is particularly concerned with issues of social justice and the design of public policy. He has been writing on economics since the 1960s, when his first book was on poverty in Britain and his second on the unequal distribution of wealth. He is currently working on top incomes, contributing to the World Top Incomes Database, and on monitoring rising inequality across the world. Together with Joe Stiglitz, he wrote Lectures in Public Economics, and today he is developing research on global public economics.
