But it is slowing down
Much of it bypasses the poor; inequalities
Storyline since 1990
Is it inequality, stupid?

• High inequalities have a price – slower growth, more instability, less efficiency.
• They hurt everyone, also those at top.
• The way the economic pie is cut has a bearing on its size.
• What matters is not only how affluent a country is but also how equal it is.
There is such thing as ‘too much inequality’.
