2026 SCIS Annual Inequality Lecture
The Southern Centre for Inequality Studies (SCIS) warmly invites you to its Annual Inequality Lecture. Professor Jayati Ghosh will deliver the keynote address titled Can developing countries reduce inequality in today’s world economy?
The global economic architecture is associated with many inequalities. These exist between countries, because of currency hierarchies and integration into international financial markets on unequal terms; unequal power in the international financial institutions controlled by a few advanced economies that display double standards for richer and poorer countries; restrictive “trade” rules that reduce policy space in lower income countries and do not allow them to use the same economic strategies that richer countries used in the course of their development.
