Which one is the odd one out?
ADependency Theory
BNeo-Marxism
CTrickle-down theory ✓ Correct
DWorld System Theory
Correct answer: (C) Trickle-down theory — The trickle-down theory is the odd one out.
Explanation
★The trickle-down theory is the odd one out.
★Trickle-down theory is a liberal, pro-market economic idea.
★It holds that wealth created by the rich will gradually reach down to the poor.
★Dependency theory, neo-Marxism and world-systems theory are all critical, Marxian-influenced approaches.
★They explain the poverty of the periphery through exploitation by the wealthy core.
★Trickle-down, by contrast, defends inequality as ultimately beneficial to all.
★So the liberal trickle-down theory does not belong with the three critical theories.
