N2 - This chapter introduces the book of interview essays Talking About Global Inequality. It provides an overview of contemporary debates on global inequality and their prominence in both academia and the public sphere. It also presents the ideas that motivated this collection of interview essays, written by nineteen scholars and intellectuals from around the world. One of these motivations is the need to decolonize knowledge, and therefore the book seeks to gather myriad voices of people working on global inequality, not only within traditional centres of Western academia, but also in the Global South. A second premise of the book is that people’s geographical location is a crucial factor in influencing their views and thoughts about the world, in other words, the importance of positionality. Therefore, the questions in these interview essays place particular attention to the personal and geographical dimension of the work of the contributing intellectuals.
