Also that second website you linked is a Koch "think tank" aka propaganda vehicle, lol
- bhupy 6y agoConsumption is a proxy for access to resources, and is downstream of all transfers, which is why the World Bank uses it as the preferred metric for wellbeing. The second website just summarizes the first paper, which is primary source. For your sake, I recommend attacking the substance of the argument rather than the entity making the argument.
