Abstract
Glenn Firebaugh's The New Geography of Global Income Inequality has a clear thesis that it supports with a mountain of evidence. The thesis can be stated simply: global income inequality, which grew during the nineteenth and early twentieth century, is now declining because of the industrialization of Asia.
