The fashionable international focus on inequality risks missing the mark in relation to development and poor countries. Here is an example: Oxfam's new report on inequality in Malawi https://twitter.com/Oxfam/status/989177493012860928 …pic.twitter.com/cHmWAvM9Qz
Some figures (from the report): GDP per capita is around $500 (2010$ PPP) 70% of people i live below $1.90/day. Economic growth per capita over two decades has been negligible. Only 5% of people live between $4 and 20m. ....and the conclusion is that inequality is the problem??
As the report notes, incomes of the richest 10% have risen faster than any other group. But putting that in absolute terms: the average income of the top 10% is around $12/day (PPP). Average incomes of the richest rose annually by 50c of daily consumption (my graph)pic.twitter.com/osaHsp3UkJ
The report calls for 'transparent & accountable governance' but also makes a set of uncosted public spending recommendations & tax reform recommendations -- do the two add up (as they would need to for transparent & accountable governance) or is this wishful thinking?
