If we're gathered here it's to denounce the inequality of everyone in what we dare call a modern society. If we're gathered here today, it's to denounce racism.

Globalisation and Inequality: Some Remarks by Dr. Carlos F. Liard-Muriente, Ph.D., Western New England College, Department of Economics, 1215 Wilbraham Rd., Springfield, MA 01119 Abstract The debate about inequality has concentrated on trade and/or technology as potential explanations. This paper argues that openness or globalisation in general, instead of the narrow definition of trade, is an important component missing from the discussion about inequality trends. To be specific, openness allows

Trade Liberalization, Rise In Wage Inequality And HOS Theory: Reconciliation In A Dynamic General Equilibrium Model. ¤ Manoj Atolia Indiana University May 1, 2002 Abstract We work with a 4-sector 5-factor model that captures relevant structural characteristics of the developing economies: the unskilled wage is indexed in the manufacturing sectors, the capital in each sector is produced with imported machines and non-traded goods (e.g. construction), and the imported intermediates are used in

Economic Development (ECO311) Dr. Mary Habib Notes for Chapter 5 Inequality, Poverty, and Development I.

These impoverished people

February 2009 47 Growth without development: Looking beyond inequality Does polarisation explain the divergence between growth and development? S Key points • Polarisation hinders both growth and human development • Measuring income polarisation provides a distinct insight into the link between growth and human development • Policy recommendations based on polarisation measures will differ from those based on conventional inequality measures, and are likely to be more nuanced Overseas Development
