A Nobel Prize-winning economist thinks we’re asking all the wrong questions about inequality. A great read from Professor Angus Deaton of Princeton.

As Angus Deaton says, it is not inequality per se but unfairness that does the real damage to societies https://t.co/TfvQPRwSjK

Unfairness in the rules governing the economy are the root cause of long term wage stagnation (rather than inequality, globalisation or tech), says Nobel-winner Angus Deaton. And they're fixable. https://t.co/Y5PtxriHsn
