ROCHA ROMERO, Raúl. Economic growth and equality. “Tradeoff” within the strategies for development in a global world?. Polis [online]. 2005, vol.1, n.2, pp.151-167. ISSN 2594-0686.

The relationship existing between growth and inequality is analyzed within the frame of economic development adopted by the majority of underdeveloped countries. In the present stage of globalization, the economies that deal with the obligation of being inserted in competitive ways within the world economy are prone to create an apparent “trade off” between growth and equality. Nowadays, the experience of some countries shows that it is possible to implement comprehensive models of development in the pursuit of both objectives. Finally, there is a reflection concerning the possibilities entailed by the process of globalization and economic development.

Palabras llave : economic growth; equality; strategies for development; globalization.
