note = {Macroeconomic equilibrium models imply that specialization,
international division of labor and free competition in open goods and
factor markets will lead to welfare gains. While this theoretical
assumption has been empirically verified in a multitude of cases, we
must also realize that a general welfare gain has not led to
convergence but rather divergence of individual levels of welfare. In
the last few years, the difference in living conditions between those
in better and worse conditions have not narrowed. Rather, polarization
has grown. It increasingly leads to social tensions and political
conflict. In turn, populism and protectionism are becoming
counterforces against a globalization that also causes economic
losses. It is therefore advisable to add distribution to efficiency as
central goals of economic policy, and to gather support for further
globalization through a smart distribution policy.},
