ABSTRACT
ne of the great debates of our time concerns the gap between the rich and poor worlds and the influence of globalization on that gap. The UC Atlas of Global Inequality (http://ucatlas.ucsc.edu) mobilizes undergraduate and graduate students to research global inequality and poverty. The UC Atlas is the leading site in Google searches for 'global inequality'. It maps, graphs and provides academic background to a range of issues including health, economic globalization, income inequalities and trade. It has interactive mapping, graphing and tabulation giving access to data about inequality, individual country pages, a blog on the latest research and internet...

And when solving a combined inequality "and" means "intersection", or only what's in common to the two inequalities. So when graphing a combined inequality, the first step is to graph the inequalities above the number line, then combine them on the number line based on "or" (bring everything down to the number line) or "and" (only bring down the parts where the graphs overlap).

Freeman - 3435 sec Global Capitalism, Labor Markets, and Inequality -
Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Harvard labor economist Richard B. Freeman for a discussion of globalization and its complex consequences for inequality in national and global contexts. He analyzes the implications of the feminization of the labor market, the effect of immigration on national job markets, the shift of policy innovation in the U.S. from the federal government to the states, and the benefits of international labor standards.

The clip is part of The Elders' Every Human Has Rights campaign, and was created in partnership with GCAP to highlight our need to overcome the global food crisis.
Some Quotes in the video include:
"The majority of the world live that way, without adequate food, waking up hungry, hearing children crying, babies dying in the arms of their mother or father because they couldn't get food. We have enough food in the world. It's a matter of whether we care enough". said Mary Robinson, Former President of Ireland and member of The Elders.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Chair of The Elders, said, "A number of wars are being fought because people are hungry. Almost everyone says I am going to do anything to make sure that my child goes to bed at least with one meal."
"This meeting must not be another talking shop for leaders who go home and just look after their national interests. We need a sense of true solidarity with people living in poverty now. We need short and long term responses that tackle causes. We will monitor that any effort helps the poorest women and their families because we have seen in the past how easy it is to promise but how lame many leaders have been at delivery." said Sylvia Borren, GCAP Co Chair Auteur : EveryHumanHasRights Tags: The Elders GCAP Food Crisis Universal Declaration Every Human Has Rights everyhumanhasrights ehhr  | | Paul Krugman - Income Inequality and the Middle Class - 434 sec Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2007/10/30/Paul_Krugman_Future_of_the_Middle_Class

Paul Krugman discusses "Losing Our Way in the New Century: The Future of the Middle Class?"
Krugman brings a sharp political, social and economic analysis of what happened to the middle class of the 20th century and where America's social policy is headed in the future. Krugman is the most widely read economist of our time and was named Columnist of the Year by Editor and Publisher magazine. - The Commonwealth Club
Paul Krugman joined The New York Times in 1999 as a columnist on the Op-Ed Page and continues as professor of Economics and International Affairs at Princeton University.
Mr. Krugman received his B.A. from Yale University in 1974 and his Ph.D. from MIT in 1977. He has taught at Yale, MIT and Stanford. At MIT he became the Ford International Professor of Economics.
Mr. Krugman is the author or editor of 20 books and more than 200 papers in professional journals and edited volumes. His professional reputation rests largely on work in international trade and finance; he is one of the founders of the "new trade theory," a major rethinking of the theory of international trade. Mr. Krugman's current academic research is focused on economic and currency crises.

professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Princeton University. Her latest book is "The Missing Class: Portraits of the Near Poor in America."
Barbara Ehrenreich, author of thirteen books, including "Bait And Switch: The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream" and "Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America." She is also a frequent contributor to the New York Times, Harpers, and the Progressive.
I fit into the Missing Class Group, how about you?
KATHERINE NEWMAN They are the near poor, over 50 million Americans who are above the poverty line, but well below the middle class, and they tend to be forgotten almost all the time. They are earning too much to qualify for most of the benefits that we provide for the real poor, but they do not earn enough to be completely secure and at as a result, they're very vulnerable in an economy like this. They tend to be service-sector workers. When contractions occur and unemployment rises, they are often the first to feel the brunt. But they are really the future of the nation. If they can't make it, really nobody can. That includes more than 20% of the nation's children who fall into this group.
the stimulus package will certainly help the missing class that is the nation's near poor, who are families of four at twenty to forty thousand. It will help them because they need the money that will come to them by virtue of being in the working poor. But it's not going to rescue the economy, and as a consequence, the kind of jobs that they have are likely to ratch it up in unemployment and that's going to have a deleterious effect on them. The absence of the S-CHIP bill which would have had a hugely positive effect on the near poor is a real tragedy, and I expect we will revisit it. There wasn't a whole lot in this for them and I don't think the stimulus package is going to stimulate--
Barbara Ehrenreich, your book is called Nickel and Dimed. Can you talk about President Bush and what he is proposing in the last speech that he gives in the State of the Union, your last book called Baited and Switch."
BARBARA EHRENREICH Well he's just pushing the same stimulus package that went through the house, which is, I think, terribly inadequate on many levels, in some ways as Katherine has mentioned. But there is a possibility that the Senate will leap ahead and add extended unemployment insurance and expansion of food stamp allotment and some other things that would really help the people who are hurting most economically now. But I think there is a real failure, of course, on his part to realize the economic problems are really beyond stimulus right now. This huge category of the working poor or the poor plus what Katherine Newman calls the missing class, this is part of the problem for the whole economy. This is where, you know, the credit crisis arose was with foreclosures, mostly among people at that economic bracket. This is where consumption has been going down as we saw very vividly at Christmas time. So if you don't address that fundamental inequality, you're going to continue to have a big problem in this economy.
