Abstract: Abstract Dualism is closely linked with inequality. Any process of development entails forces of dispersion (centrifugal) and forces of concentration or agglomeration (centripetal). The tendency for activities to concentrate is driven by the external economies that exceeds the negative externalities (higher prices, congestion, etc.) caused by the concentration. On the other hand, external economies can help mitigate the inequality between MSMEs and large businesses by offering benefits to MSMEs if they work through clusters for collective action.
