The idea
Poverty and income inequality are two social phenomena that might me emergent aggregate results of social interactions. Understanding economics as an evolving complex system might help us understand poverty and income inequality, and, why not, suggest policy solution for these phenomena.
Possible tools
Evolutionary game theory seem to be the natural language in this type of issues. Institutions evolve and adapt, and certainly have important effects in economic development. Also, behavioral and experimental economics give important instruments for the study of human behavior. Agent Based Modeling certainly is an interesting complementarity instrument.
