(Ottawa) A new report by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives sheds some light on the pressing issue of inequality in the global economy. The report, The Global Divide, comes as officials gather in Washington this weekend to discuss topics such as global poverty at the semi-annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
"When countless politicians and business gurus are telling us that we live in a global village," said author Marc Lee, "then we have to look at how the income pie in that village is sliced, and it is not a pretty picture."
