    摘要、提要註: Compared to third world poverty (absolute deprivation), economic inequality (relative deprivation) in developing countries has received little attention. In this book, Philip Nel shows that economic inequality has great significance for the achievement of economic, political and human development in developing countries. He argues that a high level of inequality undermines a country's growth potential, retards the development of social capital and trust, encourages corruption and conflict,and jeopardizes the opportunities for consistent regime development. As inequality continues to worsen in most parts of the developing world,this book provides a timely study on its causes and consequences.
