it is reasonable to expect democracies to reduce economic disparities. Even when a country achieves

economic growth, will wealth is distributed in such a way that all citizens of the country will have a share and

lead a better life? Is economic growth in democracies accompanied by increased inequalities among the

people? Or do democracies lead to a just distribution of goods and opportunities? Democracies are based on

political equality. All individuals have equal weight in electing representatives. Parallel to the process of

bringing individuals into the political arena on an equal footing, we find growing economic inequalities. A

small number of ultra-rich enjoy a highly disproportionate share of wealth and incomes. Not only that, their

share in the total income of the country has been increasing. Those at the bottom of the society have very

little to depend upon. Their incomes have been declining. Sometimes they find it difficult to meet their basic

needs of life, such as food, clothing, house, education and health
