Globalization, Poverty and Inequality: Between a Rock and a Hard Place

by Raphael Kaplinsky

Book Overview

Globalization is characterised by persistent poverty and growing inequality. Conventional wisdom has it that this global poverty is residual - as globalization deepens, the poor will be lifted out of destitution. The policies of the World Bank, the IMF and the WTO echo this belief and push developing countries ever deeper into the global economy.
