This book outlines pathways that rising nations may follow to restore their power to act and improve people's living standards in the long run. Markets, according to the prevailing economic theory, are vital engines of prosperity and poverty eradication. Financial markets and capital flight may penalize policy efforts aimed at achieving a more equitable income distribution or increasing public investment. The book addresses these concerns by examining major economic underpinnings and providing possible development plans. As a result, it is a must-read for policymakers and practitioners striving to combat global poverty, as well as economists and students interested in gaining a better knowledge of emerging economics, poverty, and financial economics.

Growing inequality is now a global megatrend. Unlike other megatrends, which benefit some stakeholders and harm others, in the long run inequality harms everyone. In the aftermath of the pandemic and against the backdrop of rising geopolitical tensions, inequality is becoming a harder challenge. Reducing it is a unique opportunity to improve the state of affairs for future generations. For this reason this volume is both very important and timely.
