Conclusions

Abstract

It is becoming increasingly clear that a strategy of egalitarian development will require a substantial redistribution of income. Moreover, it is equally clear that it is difficult, if not impossible, substantially to redistribute income without also redistributing productive assets. Finally, it is clear that if one wants to eliminate the worst forms of poverty within a relatively short period such as a generation, the redistributive measures will have to be introduced rapidly. On these points there is a significant measure of agreement.
