Abstract
Politicians and analysts who favor more egalitarian development policies in the Third World are at an impasse. Most of the current literature on the politics of what we might call shared growth, defined as economic development with widely dispersed opportunities to produce and consume, is trapped in one of two culs de sac. Mainstream or liberal scholars are committed to the idea of direct participation by the poor, organized in peasant and labor unions and political parties, while Marxists believe that shared growth is possible only after capitalism, by its very nature exploitative of the majority, is replaced by socialism. Neither group, however, holds out much hope that its solution will in fact be realized, at least in the near to medium term.
