Como previa al 18, con Gabriel Otero vamos a estar hablando sobre desigualdad y estratificación en Chile. Miércoles 4 de septiembre en el campus San Joaquín.
Exactly the message our Marcos González Hernando book makes - when even the rich can’t insulate themselves from the consequences of inequality and excessive consumption, what does that say about the future for the rest of us? #UncomfortablyOff Policy Press Patriotic Millionaires UK Tax Justice Network @TaxJusticeNet.bsky.social

Turns out we know very little about wealth inequality in LAC, but there are some takeaways. In this LSE Inequalities blog post, we discuss what we found on the topic as part of the work done by LACIR (lacir.lse.ac.uk).

Brilliant commentary from Martha Gill in The Observer. Highly recommend reading the book Martha mentions, Uncomfortably Off by Marcos González Hernando Gerry Mitchell, for more on why we should be looking at the top 10%, not just the top 1%. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
🙏 Martha Gill for citing #UncomfortablyOff in The Observer 'Perfect Couple's mega-rich ...' Not Marcos González Hernando & I claiming that high income voters more likely to vote! LOTS research on it . E.g. Parth Patel @ippr Ben Ansell Jane Gingrich IPPR Martin Gilens Patriotic Millionaires
