Economic equality and GDP growth may not move in the same direction .comment

Dear student, 

It is true, particularly in developing countries, that the equality and growth in GDP may not move in the same direction. In other words, it might be the case that the benefits of rise in GDP are cornered by a only a small section of the population. In such a situation while the rich continue to become the poor further become poor. That is, it might happen that with the rise in GDP the problem of inequality is further aggravated.

Previously on?Forbes.com?I wrote an?article critical of a newsletter from John Mauldin?in which he questions the link between growth and stock performance (link here). The article uses work by a prominent money manager named Jeremy Grantham. It appeared that Mauldin was recommending Grantham?s work.

Since then Mr. Mauldin has written to me to offer clarification, pointing out that he does not necessarily agree with everything he publishes in his columns. Though I?ve asked Mr. Mauldin several times asking him to state whether he DISAGREES with the theory that economic growth and performance are unrelated, he did not.? So leaving aside the unresolved issue?of whether this columnist is disagreeing with Mauldin or Grantham or both, the notion that growth and stock valuations are unrelated is an idea worth rebutting no matter who holds it.
