This revival is expressed in several initiatives, such as the idea to set up national competitiveness boards, the Euro Plus Pact or the ECB research network CompNet. By reviewing the recent literature and experts’ opinions as well as drawing on the new theoretical approach and the insight from the German reunification, this papers identifies main promises and pitfalls of selected European proposals. In particular, it stresses the need of a more nuanced approach to competitiveness, which goes beyond the narrow perspective centred on the synchronisation of cost developments. The evolution of salaries and productivity must be aligned and certain level of convergence among the European Monetary Union members is necessary. Nevertheless, reducing competitiveness to such an issue seems inadequate, as it ignores the ‘high-road’ and ‘beyond GDP’ competitiveness which is the reality for the mature European economies.","PeriodicalId":403592,"journal":{"name":"International Business and Global Economy","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128150864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The North is represented by the European Union and the United States. The South denotes four emerging economies: Brazil, South Africa, India, and China (BASIC). The analysis is based on the data retrieved from the UN Comtrade Database. The EU is a major trading partner for Africa, and the US was the second important trading partner for the African continent until 2008. However, their role in the trade with all African countries, and specially with Africa’s LDCs, has been declining since the beginning of the global crisis. On the other hand, a significant increase in BASIC–Africa trade has been observed in the recent years. Since 2010, the value of bilateral trade of the BASIC countries with Africa’s LDCs has been surpassing the EU and US’s trade with those African countries. In the years 2009–2014, the BASIC countries dominated the bilateral trade with 16 of Africa’s least developed countries.","PeriodicalId":403592,"journal":{"name":"International Business and Global Economy","volume":"2016 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129295125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kennedy in September 1960 has been widely used to describe the idea that when an economy is performing well, all people will benefit from it. The theory assuming that economic growth will finally bring about greater justice and prosperity for all still attracts supporters from different backgrounds. There is little doubt, however, that it doesn’t work that way. Economic data show increasing income and wealth disparities in the majority of countries, leaving no doubt that wealth creation mechanisms do not work equally for all. This paper examines key contemporary wealth drivers in an attempt to evaluate their influence on creating wealth inequalities. The analysis is based on vast literature studies, including the latest discussion on Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century. Looking at the issue from a historical perspective, we come to the conclusion that private ownership rights and capital resources play a decisive role as wealth creation factors. Policy changes, such as deregulation, privatization, and financial secrecy, make the distribution of wealth skewed towards the wealthy, contributing to growing wealth inequalities. The aim of this paper is to highlight the fact that the underlying cause of income and wealth inequalities lies in the uneven access to private ownership of different assets. Further, it aims at provoking a discussion on the right remedies to be undertaken to tackle this problem.","PeriodicalId":403592,"journal":{"name":"International Business and Global Economy","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116612258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
