Global Inequalities
Global Inequalities The three richest people in the world own more than the
combined GDP of the 48 least-developed countries The richest 1% of the worlds population earns more than the
bottom 57%
US vs. Other Countries: Vast inequalities Income Infrastructure Health and Education
Paradox of plenty Why do we have inequality with so much wealth?

Modernization Theory
Global inequality results from dysfunctions internal to poor societies themselves
Rostow’s Stages of Economic Growth Traditional society Transitional stage Take Off Drive to Maturity High Mass Consumption

Historical Inequalities The richest countries of the world experienced the
industrial revolution in the 1800’s and early 1900’s During this time European powers fought each other over
colonial territories
Colonization: a foreign power uses its superior military force to impose its political, economic, social, and cultural institutions on an indigenous population with the aim of dominating their resources, labor, and markets Britain, the Caribbean, and India

Dependency Theory
Focuses on relationship between rich and poor countries Development of some was dependent on the
underdevelopment of others
The history of colonialism needs to be taken into account when examining global inequality today Neo-colonization: through economic and political means –
not military force – countries are forced into dependency
Development comes with Underdevelopment

Newly Industrializing Countries New, rapidly growing economies of the world
started in emerge in the 1970’s
How did the Asian Tigers (and also Latin America) do it? Colonial relationships Economic and military aid Strong central gov’t Global economic growth

World Systems Analysis
Global capitalist development creates an integrated world system with three tiers
Core: major sources of capital and technology Periphery: raw materials and cheap labor Semi-Periphery: core in decline or periphery
moving up
Mobility is upward and/or downward

Global Integration: Whose Rules? Political and economic relations among the
most powerful countries (USA, Japan, Germany, China…) shape the world economy
Integration into the global economy is based on the economic theory of comparative advantage Uneven “playing field”
