Talks of inflation, interest rates, current account and other typical terms are propping up too often nowadays and I swear I’m going to puke the next time I hear these words. For all I know, these issues have been beaten to death and any more commentary is redundant. So, when I started to pick up a low murmur, I was overjoyed to find out that it concerns none of the above – this time, it’s inequality (tag)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The conversations on inequality were prompted by Piketty-Saez data on income inequality (download the data here<\/a>). For me, it started with Paul Krugman’s Left Behind Economics<\/em> (read it for free at Economist’s View<\/a>) and ends with Greg Mankiw’s Inequality and Stochastic Human Capital<\/a><\/em>. Mankiw managed to rationalize the idea of inequality in simple term rather creatively and I’m definitely attracted to his rationalization.<\/p>\n

And heh, Prof. Mankiw has a blog. How cool is that?<\/p>\n

By the way, just over two years ago, the Big Mac and manufacturing controversy<\/a> came to surface and it was between Prof. Mankiw and Rep. Dingell.<\/p>\n
