Abstract
International Inequality and National Poverty is a collection of essays united by a common objective, namely, increasing our understanding of the multitude of forces which account for the persistence of poverty and growing inequality. The volume is divided into two parts. Part One contains a selection of papers concerned with international aspects of the problem; while Part Two contains papers in which national issues are discussed. Although national and international issues are treated separately, I hope to make clear below that there are in fact strong connections between them.

An important exception is the neo-classical analysis of the effects of tariffs on the distribution of income. See W. F. Stolper and P. A. Samuelson, ‘Protection and Real Wages’, Review of Economic Studies (1941).
An exception is the neo-classical analysis of the effects of tariffs on a country’s terms of trade. See Nicholas Kaldor, ‘A Note on Tariffs and the Terms of Trade’, Economica (Nov. 1940).
