TLDR
In this paper, the interplay of social and market forces in order to achieve greater equality in a society has been discussed, and the resources necessary for providing these services can be a challenge particularly in developing countries which tend to face fewer sources of revenue, larger informal economies, and lower tax morale than developed countries.Abstract:
Economic inequality has been a dominant issue in political arenas across the world, and has taken on a different picture as globalization is gained speed. Welfare states can modify the interplay of social and market forces in order to achieve greater equality in a society. A government can provide private goods such as education and healthcare services, important resource entrepreneurs. These and other services, combined with greater entrepreneurial activity, can help to reduce income inequality. However, the resources necessary for providing these services can be a challenge, particularly in developing countries which tend to face fewer sources of revenue, larger informal economies, and lower tax morale than developed countries.read more
