Abstract
Sustainable development as advocated in the Brundtland Report requires a rate of global economic growth and a distribution of assets and income that would allow developing countries to achieve a significant per capita increase in disposable income as a basis for achieving alleviation of poverty. Invariably, policy statements to this effect mean a strategy whereby the standards of the poor shall be lifted toward the level of the well-to-do and to the forms of consumption and investments seen in the industrialized countries today.
