In the article it is shown, that this result depends on the method of measurement, and on the countries which are considered as “globalisers”. In contrast to such doubtful results, it is argued that the structures of world economy and the “primacy project” of the USA support increasing global inequality, a worldwide “Matthew Effect”, ‘to him that hath, shall be given’.</p>}, number={139}, journal={PROKLA.
