World System Status, Income Inequality, and Economic Growth: A Criticism of Recent Criticism

Patrick D. Nolan

University of South Carolina, Columbia, U.S.A.

A detailed examination and extension of Weede and Kummer's (1985) criticism of Nolan's (1983a) analysis of the effects of world system status on income inequality and economic growth rates, shows the criticism to be logically flawed and empirically unsupported. Weede and Kummer have not presented sufficient grounds for rejecting the original fin dings and have not demonstrated that the world system status measures derived from Snyder and Kick (1979), are simply imperfect measures of development.
