Description
Introduction Anand and Segal note that the last few years have witnessed a surge in the number of studies analyzing global income inequality (1) and attribute this increase partly to an effort to make sense of the effects of globalization, i.e. whether global inequality has increased or decreased in recent years. (2) In addition to this controversy which has significant policy implications, it can be argued that by increasing people's awareness about others' living standards, globalization has also a further effect of magnifying public interest in global inequality. As early as 1970s, Hirsch suggested that economic growth alone may not be sufficient to bring satisfaction to individuals due to the increasingly social nature of consumption (3), and we can safely assert that globalization has both confirmed and added another dimension to Hirsch's argument by taking the social aspect of consumption to unprecedented levels.
