This paper investigates how globalization is related to income distribution and income inequality, especially in the United States, Germany and Norway. Information on income distribution among the citizenry, causes of inequality, the consequences of inequality, and potential policy solutions will be discussed. Income inequality in advanced, developed countries is resultant of a variety of factors, consisting of, but not limited to, tax policy, financial and capital flows, education access and equality, as well as access to transportation services and the equality thereof. This work examines the impact these variables have on income inequality in the United States, Germany and Norway and moreover suggests potential solutions to combat income inequality and their practicality in the current political and economic environment. The findings indicate that the reviewed factors have a significant impact on the distribution of income and that there are several policy solutions that can serve to meaningfully reduce income inequality in these countries.
