Abstract: Income distribution has become a central concern in developing market «onomies, now that breakthroughs are being achieved in expanding output. Severe inequalities in the distribution of the benefits of development are practically universal and appear to be growing.1 Will these inequalities be reduced or cured by the outward-looking policies now being recommended to developing countries? This paper analyses these policies and arrives 3,t a generally negative answer. In most developing (:ountries, inequalities cannot be expected to cure themselves under outwardlooking policies, no matter how desirable these policies may be for other reasons.' Inequalities may even increase unless major efforts are made to redistribute income.
