Abstract
This paper examines the growth paths that maximize the utility of the worst off generation for an economy where preferences are stationary and can be represented by a recursive utility function. The analysis focuses on the case where second period utility is an inferior good. It is shown that in such a case the maximin growth paths are time inconsistent. A possible solution to the time inconsistency problem is examined.
