Abstract
This review discusses three ways in which radio galaxies and other high-redshift objects can give us information on the nature and statistics of cosmological inhomogeneities, and how they have evolved between high redshift and the present: (1) The present-day spatial distribution and clustering of radio galaxies; (2) The evolution of radio-galaxy clustering and biased clustering at high redshift; (3) Measuring density perturbation spectra from the abundances of high-redshift galaxies.
