Persistent and high levels of absolute poverty are the most obvious feature of many of the poorest countries, and yet many economists continue to disagree about how they can best be overcome. Considering the prevailing distribution of income in these countries, sustained economic growth may not be feasible or desirable. Income Distribution in Less Developed Countries bridges the gap between the statistical and theoretical literature on income distribution. It helps to clarify the underlying trends and provides recommendations for policies that might provide growth with equity.

Virtually all industrialized nations have annual per capita incomes greater than $15,000; meanwhile, over three billion people, more than half the worlds population, live in countries with per capita incomes of less than $700. Development economics studies the economies of such countries and the problems they face, including poverty, chronic underemployment, low wages, rampant inflation, and oppressive international debt. In the past two decades, the international debt crisis, the rise of endogenous growth theory, and the tremendous success of some Asian economies have generated renewed intere
