My ‘Politics of Inequality’ (PO4730) class has been talking about a variety of things in the past five weeks that have found recent expression on the web.
- John Rentoul on The Rich Don’t Get Richer, providing some opinion and data on the British wealth distribution.
- John Rentoul (again) on Vince Cable and social mobility, making a point about the need for conceptual clarity (on the latter) as well as related policies.
- Tyler Cowen providing a pointer to a study on Surnames and the laws of social mobility.
