Question

Inequality within as well as among countries is driven by the interplay of technology, trade, and capital mobility globally. Within countries, inequality is also shaped by the legacies of horizontal (inter-group) relations and policies. Inclusive and broadly accountable global governance institutions might mitigate some of the negative side effects of markets and the unequal distribution of state power. So, what is your informed assessment of the primary culprits for the dramatic increases in economic inequality, and what can realistically be done within the existing alignment of forces to sensibly re-shape the world economic governance order?
