Abstract

The purposes of this thesis are: (a) to introduce Kuznets' hypothesis which proposed that there is an inverted-U relationship between economic growth and income inequality; and (b) to infroduce a more recent paper written by Deininger and Squire which challenged Kuznets' hypothesis in that they proposed that instead of inverted-U relationship, there is an inverse relationship between economic growth and land inequality.
