Polarization or Convergence?

Based on the most recent and comprehensive studies, the article argues a) that global inequality is most likely increasing, and b) that internal inequality has been increasing almost all over the world.
Increasing internal inequality seems to be connected to neo-liberal policies, while it is more difficult to establish the reasons behind increasing global inequality. The article criticises, however, the method used in the type of answers which build on stories of liberal successes and non-liberal failures; it is argued that this method presupposes what the authors want to prove, namely that globalisation (neo-liberalism) is beneficial.

Kommentar til kronik af Michael Benneke.
Lad os antage, at hvad der er bedst for den internationale kapital er bedst for menneskeheden. Lad os antage, at neoliberalismen økonomisk set har ret. Lad os altså antage, at Benneke har ret i alle sine økonomiske argumenter, således at globalisering faktisk skaffer den bedste af alle verdener, målt i penge.
Er denne verden værd at købe? Er prisen ikke for høj, når det er nogle tusinde mennesker i nogle tusinde bestyrelser, der virkeliggør og behersker denne verden.
