Preferred term
poverty and inequality
Definition
- The neoclassical economist Alfred Marshall wrote that “the question of whether it is really impossible that all should start in the world with a fair chance of leading a cultured life, free from the pains of poverty … [gives] to economic studies their chief and their highest interest” (Marshall 1920, introduction). Alongside economists and sociologists, scholars of leadership have dedicated attention to poverty and inequality. [Source: Encyclopedia of Leadership; Poverty and Inequality]
