Written by Bhalla (formerly of the Rand Corporation, the World Bank, Goldman Sachs, and the Brookings Institution) and funded by a think-tank with close connections to such right-wing institutions as the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, this report argues that common methods of measuring inequality are incorrect. Advancing a different measurement methodology, Bhalla argues that global inequality, contrary to most observers' analyses, is actually shrinking. Similarly, his methodology suggests that poor countries are experiencing much more economic growth than commonly believed. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
