Re: Trade and Growth

Alan,

While in fear of going where angels fear to tread, I'm curious to know what
 you see as the theoretical/analytic reason for this connection between
growth and a more egalitarian distribution that you believe in so
fervently?

Also, if you take the bottom quintile, doesn't the US since 1970 or so
qualify as a country that has grown over the past three decades with a
decline in the real per capita income of the poor?
