Did you know: until recently, there used to be broad consensus that inequality is harmful for economic growth? See my piece today in the @BostonReview bostonreview.net/class-inequali…
@BostonReview The modern notion that there’s a tradeoff between income equality and economic growth feels so ingrained today, but it’s a relatively recent idea popularized only in the 1970s.
