This book contributes to the burgeoning global dialogues and literature on economic inequality in a new way, identifying and addressing what may be called bedrock types of inequality whose origins are rooted in the history and culture of each country. These kinds of inequality strongly influence income distributions by strata, can be resistant to change, and require solutions beyond fiscal tax and expenditure policies. And it places the findings firmly in the realm of the relevant studies on the topics covered. The countries analyzed include South Korea, Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Peru, Estonia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, and Yemen. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface.- \u003ci\u003eYemen: Qat and Water.- \u003c\/i\u003eArabia Felix.- A Parched Village.- A Legendary Dam.- Old City.- Roots of a Crisis.- Perverse Policies.- Dilemmas of Qat.- Excursions in History.- Markets for the Leaf.- In the Crux Who Pays?.- The Development Bargain.- \u003ci\u003eEstonia: Shaping Freedom.- \u003c\/i\u003eOn Edge.- A Different Kind of Capitalism.- Northern Winter.- Cathedral Mountains.- Abandoned Lands.- From Songs to Markets.- Policies and Mindsets.- Social Ills.- Left Behind.- A Strategy Takes Shape.- Hope in the Potato Patches.- \u003ci\u003eMexico and El Salvador: Yearnings for Education.- \u003c\/i\u003eRagged Orator.- Why Is It So Hard?.- \u003ci\u003eHonduras: Fights over Land.- \u003c\/i\u003eHurricanes and Fire.- A Colonial Heritage.- Clamors for Land.- Onions and Sugar Bricks.- Voices of Farmers.- Political Seasons.- Shrimp Ponds.- Presidential Deliberations.- Confrontations.- Polemics and Divisions.- Fading Hopes.- A Door Left Ajar.- A Clearing.- After a Lifetime.- An Archbishop’s Warning.- Shootout.- An Ancient Divide.- The Bishop’s World.- Prophecy Fulfilled.- Retrospect and Prospect.- \u003ci\u003ePakistan and Bangladesh: A Dream Sundered.- \u003c\/i\u003eAn Abstract Country.- Pieces of a Puzzle A Feudal Valley.- Monsoon.- Storm Clouds.- A Great River.- Watery Lyrics.- Struggles of Tigers and a Country.- Staying Afloat.- Human Development and Economic Growth.- The Spirit of Baishakh.- Peru: Inequality and Inca Technology.- Altiplano.- Puno.- Iron Monsters.- Land Invasions.- Inca Engineering.- Potatoes.- A Festival of Youth.- An Empty Wind.- Alpaca Herders.- Alfalfa and Cheese.- Andean Paths.- Connectivity.- \u003ci\u003eNigeria: Policy Dilemmas.- T\u003c\/i\u003eropical Dissonance.- Workaday Lagos.- Island of Sanity.- Harmattan.- Gin and Data.- Project Designs.- A Paradox.- Sunday’s Peril.- Paradox Resolved.- Paradise Lost.- In the Balance.- S\u003ci\u003eouth Korea: Pressurized Takeoff.- \u003c\/i\u003eA Sleep of Centuries.- Village Life.- Whiphand on the Economy.- Abacus Power.- Family Life.- Smashing Traditions.- Korean Hours.- A House with a Garden.- A Hermit’s Memory.
