Abstract
This is a bold and intriguing paper. It offers a new explanation for poverty reduction (or lack thereof) and interesting new empirical measures of global market access and the size of the middle class for developing countries. The main contribution of the paper is to point to market size as a potentially significant constraint on economic development.
