Abstract

Reviews trends in global inequality (between countries and within countries) during the 1980s and 1990s and analyses changes in income concentration during the first wave of globalization, 1870-1912. Finds evidence which indicates that global inequality has risen during the past two decades and that past declines in within-country inequality have been reversed since the 1980s. Explores the possible causes of these changes.
