πŸ” Ah yes, an article on US inequality from the National Bureau of Economic Research, where they explore inequality by drowning you in endless papers, bulletins, and data archives. πŸ“š Because nothing screams understanding complex social issues like a good ol' subscription to bureaucratic jargon! πŸ˜‚

@magdelenehall While I’m more familiar with #USInequality and, more generally, #GlobalInequality, I do know the UK has staggering #wealthAndIncomeInequality . I did a quick search and notice that #inequality has gotten a bit worse in the #UK in since 1980. These metrics should be the measure of whether policies were collectively β€œLiberal” or not (this is proof they were NOT). If we were to reduce w&i inequality in a transparent and democratic manner then we would be #liberal . #UnitedKingdom
@drrjv #USInequality has already surpassed a hundred year high. What some amoung the rich and many of the republicans want is to be able to better exploit the poor. The current #USDebtCeiling crisis is easily in the list of most pressing world issues. #USDebt #USDebtCeilingCrisis #GOP #Democrats
@Jondreed I am embarrassed by the feds insistence of utilizing #1980sEraEconomics logic that very clearly puts regular working people at risk of losing work. We should #breakUpMonopolies and cartels to increase #priceCompetition (which would #reduceInflation ). #Biden should dismiss #JeromePowell as #FederalReserve Chair. #Reaganomics #Economics #InterestRates #ClassWarfare #UnitedStates #USGovernment #POTUS #antiTrust #antiTrustLaws #breakUpMonopoliesAndCartels #USinequality #severeInequality
