Front row for Branko Milanovic presentation of his new book “Visions of inequality: from the French Revolution to the end of the Cold War”

New episode: Economist Branko Milanovic talks inequality and the future of capitalism youtu.be/0H6UxAzcowI Jung & Naiv

Spannend: Branko Milanovic bei Tito Jung⬇️ youtube.com/watch?v=0H6UxA… & er kommt gleich mit einem Teil vom 7. Kapitel aus 'Visions of Inequality' rein (Neoklassik). Wunderbar in den ersten Minuten bereits der Unterschied zwischen Diktatur & Autoritarismus... Sehenswert! #EconTwitter
