Ray Jepson<p>I keep thinking of this, from an article by <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/BrankoMilanovic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrankoMilanovic</span></a> :</p><p>In the 2020 response to <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/COVID19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>COVID19</span></a> in the US, "Market income inequality, which measures inequality before government transfers and direct taxation, increased by 1.5 Gini points... But the welfare state intervened strongly in 2020, and disposable income Gini was reduced by 1.5 points. This was, as I mentioned, a reduction of historic proportions."</p><p>The greatest reduction in iniquality in US history was the last year of <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a>.</p>

Steve Randy Waldman<p>“As Milanovic dismissively concludes, neoclassical models of distribution related ‘to life on Earth about as much as the theories that astrobiologists have developed about life on Mars.’” <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://zirk.us/@storracinta" class="u-url mention">@<span>storracinta</span></a></span> reviews <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BrankoMilanovic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BrankoMilanovic</span></a> <a href="https://www.dissentmagazine.org/article/inequality-without-class/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">dissentmagazine.org/article/in</span><span class="invisible">equality-without-class/</span></a></p>
Steve Randy Waldman<p>“The international ideological aspects of the decisions taken by the US and the European Union are seldom taken into account by the domestic decision-makers because the thinking about the rest of the world and development does not loom large for the politicians who deal with China, Russia, national security and the like. But the ideological development problem will not go away.” <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BrankoMilanovic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BrankoMilanovic</span></a> <a href="https://branko2f7.substack.com/p/the-third-framing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">branko2f7.substack.com/p/the-t</span><span class="invisible">hird-framing</span></a></p>
Steve Randy Waldman<p>“[T]oo much attention in the 1950s was paid to Democrats trying not to appear soft on communism, and too little attention to Republicans accepting most of the acquis of the New Deal in return for safety of private property.” <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BrankoMilanovic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BrankoMilanovic</span></a> <a href="https://glineq.blogspot.com/2024/09/the-end-of-great-order-under-heaven.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">glineq.blogspot.com/2024/09/th</span><span class="invisible">e-end-of-great-order-under-heaven.html</span></a></p>
