The trend in global inequality over the last century has been characterized by significant shifts. In the early 20th century, inequality was high, with a small elite holding a disproportionate amount of wealth and power. However, since 1970, there has been a gradual reduction in global inequality, largely due to the economic growth of countries like China and India, as well as improvements in healthcare and education in many developing nations.
Looking ahead, it is difficult to predict with certainty where the world may be a century from now. However, based on current trends, it is possible that global inequality will continue to decrease as more countries develop and lift their citizens out of poverty. This could lead to a more equitable distribution of wealth and resources worldwide.
Modernization theory would support the prediction that global inequality will continue to decrease as countries modernize and adopt more efficient and productive economic systems. This theory suggests that as countries industrialize and urbanize, they will experience economic growth and improved living standards for their citizens, ultimately leading to a more equal global distribution of wealth.
On the other hand, dependency theory would argue that global inequality will persist or even worsen in the future. This theory posits that the global economic system is inherently unequal, with wealthy countries exploiting and dominating poorer nations for their own benefit. According to dependency theory, the structural inequalities in the global economy will continue to perpetuate poverty and underdevelopment in many parts of the world.
In terms of accuracy, it is difficult to say which prediction is more likely. While modernization theory has been supported by the recent reduction in global inequality, dependency theory raises valid concerns about the power dynamics and structural inequalities that exist in the global economy. It is possible that a combination of both theories may be necessary to fully understand and address the complexities of global inequality. Ultimately, the future trajectory of global inequality will depend on a wide range of factors, including economic, political, and social developments that are difficult to predict with certainty.
