TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Growth, trade and uneven development JO - Cambridge journal of economics A1 - Darity, William A1 - Davis, Lewis S. SP - 141 EP - 170 VL - 29 IS - 1 N2 - Theories of growth and international trade are reviewed critically from the perspective of understanding persistent inter-country and inter-regional income inequality. Three separate literatures are considered for the insights they offer about international disparity: Classical political economy, the North-South trade models, and the 'new' growth and trade theories that incorporate increasing returns and/or product differentiation. Classical antecedents of the more recent theories are identified, and contrasts are drawn between structuralist and neoclassical approaches to explaining the income gap between rich and poor nations.
