The Developer's Dilemma: Structural Transformation, Inequality Dynamics, and Inclusive Growth

The Developer's Dilemma explores the tension between this aim and the hypothesis that economic development tends to put upward pressure on income inequality, at least initially and in the absence of countervailing policies.
