Sapolsky’s got a big piece on how economic inequality rives us mad. Looks like, from reports, some warmed over Spirit Level stuff.
Anyone got access? Would like to see the whole thing….
OK, got it now, thanks Ken.

Ummmm…
I hope you summarise and comment, because the commentary on it is, shall we say, “tres pro-Piketty”….
Milton Friedman. βThe society that puts equality before freedom will end up with neither. The society that puts freedom before equality will end up with a great measure of both. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.β
Which is why Socialists are for equality, freedom not being their cup of tea, Comrade.
Thanks, John B. That is wisdom!
But note: they don’t believe in equality, either.
