The Economics of Inequality: A Global Perspective
Inequality isn't inevitable-it's a choice. This simple yet revolutionary claim forms the heart of Thomas Piketty's monumental work. Throughout history, societies have justified their inequalities through elaborate ideological constructions that appear natural and inevitable to those living within them. From medieval Europe's three-tiered society to today's billionaire worship, these justifications persist until they suddenly collapse. The data is staggering: in 1980, the top 10% captured between 25-35% of national income across major economies. By 2018, this share had risen to between 35-55% everywhere, with the most dramatic increases in the United States and India-coming directly at the expense of the bottom 50%. Yet history shows these patterns aren't destiny. The mid-20th century saw dramatic reductions in inequality through deliberate political choices-progressive taxation, public education, social insurance, labor laws, and power-sharing in corporations. Remarkably, this most egalitarian period (1950-1980) also saw the fastest economic growth, with average annual growth rates exceeding 4% in many developed nations. Countries like Sweden combined strong unions, high taxes, and extensive social programs with robust innovation and economic dynamism-proving extreme inequality isn't necessary for prosperity.
