The economic causes and consequences of income and wealth inequality are a big part of Unit 4. The short programme below is well worth a to listen to.
A billion people have been lifted out of poverty since 1990, but inequality has been rising in many other countries at the same time. So, how much inequality is too much? Many may recoil from such a question - inequality is a dirty word. But this programme isn't about fairness. This programme is about economics – and how far inequality affects growth and prosperity. Presented by the economist and broadcaster Linda Yueh.
