Globalization and poverty, and the poverty of globalization theory
Article Abstract:
A debate on globalization is focused on two apparently separate debates, on the links between trade liberalization, growth and poverty reduction, and on theories that give too much explanatory weight to the concept of globalization. If poverty is reduced in the world, then it is largely because of growth in China and India and it is basically their growth records that are the reason for all the optimism about growth, poverty and inequality.
