It sounds like what I missed it isn't worth reading.
Arguing poverty is essentially a relative measure of wealth or somehow other's wealth, even unexploited or unused wealth, somehow makes everyone poor with the sudden knowledge that it exists?
I am interested in economics here, not philosophy.
- tossandthrow 2y agoThe books that touches exactly that ideas are amongst other * "Capital in the Twenty-First Century" - Thomas Piketty * "The Spirit Level" - Wilkinson & Pickett * "The Price of Inequality" - Joseph Stiglitz However, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if none of these authors ring a bell. But is seems like you are perfectly able to articulate the ideas - just not to internalize them. Yet.
- WalterBright 2y agoHow is Cuba doing with all that equality? Maybe read: "Free To Choose" - Milton Friedman ?
- tossandthrow 2y agoI never proposed any single way to achieve equality. Even Friedman also agrees with the ideas that I propose: Friedman believes in a basic safety net that ensures that you have basic necessities. The key as that your secured income is big enough that you can pay for a roof, food and clothes. My point is that this alone puts a upper bound to the amount of inequality you can have.
