What is happening in the Western world (rise of inequality due to skills being prized higher owing to technological change) is very different to what happened in Russia. We are currently in a period of technological change and - as we see on HackerNews everyday - skills are being prized. Ostensibly we are supposed to be helping the economy. Now it sounds like we're making income inequality worse since we know things that other people don't. I had no idea what to Google for more information but I found this outdated paper from 1998 in the Quarterly Journal of Economics http://economics.mit.edu/files/3809 http://economics.mit.edu/files/3809 We get supply-demand analysis like the unprecedented increase in the supply of college graduates during the 1970s may have been causal for both technological developments and the changes in the structures of wages in the past two decades That paper was written in 1998, I wonder if there's more recent discussion on relationship between valuation of skills and wealth inequality.
