Abstract

High levels of inequality are harmful to economic growth (Alesina & Perotti, 1996) yet claims about growth often focus on increases at the ‘top’, which can lead to increased inequality (Phillips, 2020). By exploring how talk about poverty, wealth and inequality within everyday interactions and media communication, we can raise awareness of the conditions needed to support the development of good growth that benefits everyone.
