some big reading on a big topic
i doubt we'll see a world government in my lifetime
but that seems to be the solution to inequalities brought about by globalisation
a potential problem

would be the demand from the poor of the really poor countries
to get the handouts now received
by the poor of the rich countries
While inequality within countries is, broadly speaking, increasing,
inequality between countries is decreasing.

“My position on this is that for adults, it’s about work;
for children, it’s about education
and having a good safety net for people who can’t work or are between jobs.”
