    Globalization was never intended to reduce inequality and bring prosperity. It is quite the opposite: it is the stage of development in which the accumulation of wealth without any accountability goes global to increase their gains and profit even more by exploiting cheap labour and weak regulations overseas. Ant to intervene if that poor institutional framework could change at some point.

    The fact that there are inequality issues in the world economy is undeniable. Globalization is one of the contributing factors, but we still lack an efficient system to address this effectively. One of the most significant factors contributing to inequality is the lack of skills among workers. Moreover, the population increasing daily, the global market is becoming more competitive. Without efficient regulation of the labor market, quality and human values will continue to decline. Countries should invest more in their own populations instead of seeking cheap labor abroad.

    Thank you for posting this insightful lecture and discussion. My takeaway is that globalisation is a modern form of utilitarianism in which the rich get richer, more countries (emerging) get an uplift, but fundamentally, there remains a minority of inequality and poverty with an ever increasing gap between rich and poor. Utilitarianism is all about the greater good and the majority benefiting.

    What’s the point? Don’t we know that unequal skill causes inequality? Capitalists never pledge to address this issue. They enjoy the comparative advantage at the expense of social inequality.
    Education alone is insufficient to address the issue because labor demand change rapidly. Consider China's education system, which has achieved significant advancements, yet the Gini coefficient has also risen. The point is, in order to reduce inequality, the state must actively participate in the realization of the concept of Common Prosperity.

      ​@@thomasbentele2468 You are correct. Another issue is that humans do not develop equality. Humans as a species aren't equal in skill, talent, desire, grit or creativity, and gravitate twords different interests and career goals. It is impossible not to have inequities among people. People can also increase their economic situation through education and hard work. The government or United Nations can spend all day readjusting resources and shares and never achieve equal outcomes. I resent the United Nations and its goal for global equity aka socialism. It's policies and ideologies are destructive and demoralizingnto hard working people who were forced to function in a system they did not create. Much like the USSR under Stalin, the United Nations goal is global socialism, neo-communism.

    let's talk about equity instead of equality, please. And it is not about wage disparities between genders. It is about getting the wealth necessary to lead a peaceful and content life. Not everyone needs a million dollars to reach such goal. Not everyone wishes to go to university, to have children, to own a house, etc. Some lifestyles may seem to agree with one's definition of poverty while the people leading such a lifestyle, do not see it as poor. Universalism is a real plague in our modern world.

This was mainly due to globalization and blows up your argument. You mention software without mentioning any other science.
