This paper summarizes the main findings and perspectives emerging from a collective research project on the dynamics of income and wealth distribution. The primary objective is to construct a high-quality, long-run, international database on income and wealth concentration, using historical tax statistics. In this database, the data are annual, long-run time series; they are fairly homogenous across countries; and they are also broken down by income source. Hence they offer a unique opportunity to understand the dynamics of income and wealth distribution and the interplay between inequality and growth.
