Medgyesi Márton, a Tárki vezető kutatója, Renato Miguel Carmoval és Cédri Rioval közösen szerkesztette a Reducing Inequalities. A Challenge for the European Union? című könyvet, ami az Európai Unióban és a tagállamokon belüli társadalmi egyenlőtlenségeket vizsgálja. A könyv feltárja a vertikális egyenlőtlenség formáit, ami a magas és alacsony jövedelmű rétegek között áll fenn, és a horizontális egyenlőtlenségeket, ami különböző állampolgárságú, életkorú, etnikai hovatartozású emberek és nemek között áll fenn.
