Recommendation
Global income inequality has been dropping since the 1980s. But in this eye-opening analysis, researcher Zsolt Darvas delves beneath the surface of this progressive trend to uncover a sobering reality: Most of the decline has come from India and China, which together account for almost two-fifths of the world’s population. Across the planet, individuals’ prospects for advancement remain largely unchanged, making it difficult for some people to move up the income ladder. getAbstract recommends this thought-provoking text to economists, policy experts and analysts.
