Historically, evidence suggests that left to its own devices, the process of economic development and growth generates increased inequality, the “trickle up” effect. The moderation of income inequality involved significant public interventions in a progressive system of taxation, and economic and social policy instruments that engender fairer redistribution of the proceeds of economic activities.Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf
