Economic growth has been cited by the World Bank as the "essential ingredient for sustained poverty reduction." But for every $100 of global economic growth that occurred between 1990 and 2001, only 60 cents went to people below the $1-per-day line. In other words, to get the poorest people of the world an extra $1 required a $166 increase in global production and consumption. Someone is profiting from economic growth, but it's not the world's poor.
