[NCUC-DISCUSS] the internet increases inequality

[William Drake]

Hi

The press coverage of the World Bank’s 360 page report has been sensationalist and misrepresents the analysis.  It’d be better to read for oneself than rely on the drive-by interpretations of people paid for instant opinions  http://www.worldbank.org/en/publication/wdr2016 <http://www.worldbank.org/en/publication/wdr2016>.

Best

Bill
