There is a perception of inequality of growth, but it is in fact, a false perception. Truth is, it is globalisation. Inequality of income in the world has shrunk, even as inequality of income in almost all countries has increased, because that was more than counterbalanced by decreased inequality between countries. There's very little that can be done about it, because inequality between countries was brought about by factors that are no longer present and are impractical and/or immoral to bring back (colonialism, Curse of Ham, etc).
