As far as I can see global economic inequality is maintained and increased 
by some of the economic institutions we have created, such as our present 
international trade laws, Intellectual Property laws, limited company laws 
and resulting stock markets, and perhaps most basic: interest (or usury) 
....This kind of analysis arises from modern Christian/Muslim/Jewish 
analysis. 
 
Apart from such contemporary analyses, you might also want to look up 
material on the northern European economic systems (no, they do not believe 
in *eradicating* inequality, but they do believe in *limiting* it), and I 
am sure that you are familiar with Marxist, Maoist and similar leftist 
views though these have had rather less prominence in the years since the 
fall of the Berlin Wall. 
 
I was recently asked to give a lecture on the topic "Building a Better 
World: Why it does NOT happen and what to do about it" which develops these 
themes. If you wish to obtain a copy of the CD of the lecture, please email 
me.
