Friedrich von Hayek won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1974. In awarding the prize, the Academy specifically referred to his conclusion quoting the Academy, not Hayek "that only by far-reaching decentralization in a market system with competition and free price-fixing is it possible to make full use of knowledge and information."
What did the Academy mean?
Which of the following is true regarding the effects
of globalization in the 21st century and global
inequality?
Although the number of people living in
extreme poverty decreased, this did not
have a measurable effect on inequality
overall.
The economic recession of 2008 and the
economic recovery in 2013 slowed the
growth of incomes of the wealthiest
people in the world while the number of
people living in extreme poverty
decreased.
During this period, global inequality
increased, the world now has both more
billionaires and more people living in
extreme poverty than it did before.
As global companies moved
manufacturing jobs into poorer countries,
they contributed to significant
improvements in the incomes, working
conditions, and overall quality of life for
these workers.
