This monograph offers an evidence-based investigation of economic inequality in Ukraine, exploring its structural links to monetary and fiscal policies, digitalisation, and middle-class transformation, placing the national case within a broader international and theoretical framework. Drawing on Ukrainian data, eight chapters cover household income development, the distributional effects of monetary policy, the impact of fiscal policy on inequality, particularly the role of social transfers and the implications of shadow and P2P economies for taxation, the relationship between economic growth and inequality, the middle-class formation considering gender inequality, regional and sectoral inequalities shaped by digitalisation. It is essential reading for researchers, scholars, and policymakers engaged with inequality in transition economies.<\/p>\n
