Rising Wealth Inequality and the Growth of an Ecosystem of Fake

Image
Political forces at work at a national level were highly important in determining how incomes have become distributed after the major changes of the early 1980s in the English speaking economies. A universal trend of increasing inequality everywhere would be in line with the notion that inequality is determined primarily by global market forces and technological progress. However, the reality of two markedly different inequality trends, namely the “Anglo-U” versus the “Euro-L” suggests that institutional and political frameworks in different countries have played a substantial if not dominant role. In other words, inequality is not inevitable, it has in fact been driven by policies and actions. medium.com/@K_Gallowglaich/rising-wealth-inequality-and-the-growth-of-an-ecosystem-of-fake-104bae5e12d5 Many conventional City Tory economists will loath the sight of the two papers listed below.

Part of the reason for many people's dislike and mistrust of the whole second nationality/second passport farce is down to this sort of Maltese/Cypriot/Moldovan/Montenegro "Global Citizen" farce. At last this deeply corrupt man and his gang of crooks are out. They have been selling European citizenship to anyone who can pay for a long time. A new government should ensure they go to jail. It is noteworthy that the BBC, including senior people such as the slightly dopey John Simpson and Jon "Trump's Mexican Wall" Sopel and several others have been soft-pedalling the disgusting story of Daphne Caruana Galizia's brutal murder for years and accepting appearance money. Not good. Naturally, those who enriched these crooks with "wealth" will have covered their tracks and removed themselves and most evidence a long time ago.
