PRICES MAY VARY. Comic strips are excellent learning tools that often deal with real life issues. They allow people to see life from different viewpoints, raise awareness for current issues, and even teach us what it means to be human. The images, with limited text, convey lots of information that can be expressed with drama, puns, humor, and satire. They tell stories that can inspire, encourage and amuse, but they also provide teachable moments for our lives where we may see ourselves. In many

Achieving sustainable economic development is one of humanity’s greatest challenges, and, in this regard, the United Nations has promoted a line of research based on sustainable economic development. In view of this, our study focused on the sustainable economic development of nations, specifically, development through the deployment of information and communication technologies (ICTs). Academic researchers recognize the importance of ICT for economic and sustainable development, but there is controversy in the literature regarding two opposing points of view. First, there is a view that advances in ICT support Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, while, on the other hand, the view is that there is no relationship between these two factors. In view of this, we conducted a study where the objective was to determine whether investing in ICT contributes to sustainable economic development (measured by the GDP per capita) of European Union countries. We used Eurostat data and applied the partial least-squares (PLS) method to address the study. This approach allowed us to analyze European Union countries from 2014 to 2017, using fairly rigorous data. The most outstanding result was that ICT accounted for most of the explained variance in GDP per capita (GDPpp), and, specifically, the most representative indicator was “digital public services.” Therefore, we concluded that investing in the deployment of ICT supports the sustainable economic development of European Union countries. These countries should focus on investing in improved connectivity in areas with poor communications, as well as in training area inhabitants in the use and development of ICT to obtain greater development using these tools and technologies.
Cet article réexamine de façon sélective l’abondante littérature économique des 20 dernières années sur la relation entre inégalité et développement. Son principal argument porte sur la distinction nécessaire, et souvent négligée, entre « inégalité des revenus », ou des résultats, et « inégalité des chances » comme frein au développement. Les justifications théoriques d’une relation négative entre développement et inégalité suggèrent que ce n’est pas l’inégalité des résultats, revenu ou consommation, qui est un frein au développement. Ce sont d’autres dimensions, plus fondamentales, de l’inégalités économique et sociale, comme les différences dans les familles ou les milieux sociaux d’origine, dans l’accès à l’éducation, aux soins de santé, au crédit, à la sécurité ou à la justice, ou encore la discriminations à l’égard de certains groupes ethniques ou des femmes. Il se trouve que l’inégalité des revenus sur laquelle se concentre presqu’exclusivement la littérature empirique sur inégalité et développement n’est qu’un marqueur très imparfait de cette définition plus générale de l’inégalité, qui correspond à l’« inégalité des chances ». Mais en même temps, et de façon paradoxale, corriger ces dimensions de l’inégalité requiert le plus souvent des politiques impliquant une certaine redistribution des revenus, bien que l’inégalité des revenus soit plutôt une conséquence que la principale cause des inégalités qui compromettent le développement.
