DESCRIPTION
Inequality defines the world we live in. We will focus on the evolution of economic inequality in the long run and the determinant factors, with special attention to the links to the globalisation process. At the turn of the 21st century, the richest five percent of people receive one-third of total global income, the next 15 percent richer had another third and the remaining third of total global income had to be shared by the poorest 80 percent of the population. Our aim is to know why there is poverty and which strategies have been used to reduce it.
