.@charlesadler I often encourage my fellow capitalists to read The Spirit Level, a study of how inequality affects societal health and happiness, by @ProfKEPickett & @ProfRGWilkinson. It’s good stuff: meticulous, highly readable, measured and persuasive. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spiri…
I am not a socialist - not even close. I have always thought Capitalism was liberty's best friend - an essential ingredient of a thriving democracy. But I cannot deny history. Dramatic inequality ignites dramatic political responses. The chart Ian Bremmer brings is instructive.
