Globalization, Poverty and Inequality: What Is the Relationship? What Can Be Done?

Kaushik Basu

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: The paper studies the relation between globalization, inequality and marginalization, within and across nations. It reviews the existing evidence on globalization and global inequality and argues, using a simple theoretical model, that the two are inter-connected. It discusses policy alternative policies to counter extreme poverty and inequality. The paper takes the view that curbing these, even within one country, requires global, cross-country policies that we do not currently have, and advocates the setting up of an international initiative to coordinate such policies. [Research Paper No. 2005/32]
