- Summary:
-
"In this book, Philip Nel shows that economic inequality has great significance for the achievement of economic, political, and human development in developing countries. He argues that a high level of inequality undermines a country's growth potential, retards the development of social capital and trust, encourages corruption and conflict, and jeopardizes the opportunities for consistent regime development."--BOOK JACKET.
