    You'll find his name Kuznets, in Thomas Piketty's, "capital in the Twenty-first century." numerous times and they are not good. Piketty doesn't criticize Kuznets directly but it sounds more like sarcasm. Kuznets was a servant(or brown noser) for the capitalists. Reagan's famous quote "A rising tide lifts all boats" comes from him.

    As an economy develops Kuznrts believed inequality would increase thus gini would rise & later fall as welfare & education programs can be provided. This is largely due to the fiscal dividend from high GDP growth

    Hey. Free trade or globalisation more broadly? Check this article out: www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/business-37542494 & this: www.economist.com/leaders/2017/10/21/the-right-way-to-help-declining-places?zid=293&ah=e50f636873b42369614615ba3c16df4a Just remember the benefits of globalisation are pretty clear and has helped millions out of abject poverty.

    That hypothesis is complete nonsense, as is Kuznet’s. A simple correlation between two vastly endogenous variables (this case being Gini and GDP/C) is not sufficiency to infer causation, and the correlation isn’t even strong!

    Can't see Prime Minister Liz Truss investing in the welfare state. She wants to reduce the role of the state. She says that UK workers must work harder and increase productivity. What does not appreciate is that state benefits have been continually cut over the last 20 + years and companies have reduced their workforce and increase the workload on those workers. On the topic of environmental protection Liz does not see climate change as a political priority. She has repeatedly said that the only political priority for her government is GDP growth, more growth and yet more growth.

    Hi, your video is very helpful in my studies. I want to ask which indicator is more accurate to represent "income per capita" in a kuznets's curve? Is it GDP per capita or GNI per capita? The indicator for inequality i would be using is the gini index (world bank estimates) Thank you very much

    Great question. It's more common to consider GDP per capita. However, those developing economies who have higher GNI than GDP are often helped by workers who repatriate foreign earned incomes. This often comes through sound education often in fields such as nursing. As such that foreign earned income can help redistribution and reduce inequality. Yet, may cause labour shortages at home.

    I disagree with the Kuznets curve because one, it assumes workers have power/control over the government, which is only the case in a working democracy, and two as workers demand wealth redistribution, the low-income jobs are shipped overseas. I don't think the curve takes a wide enough look at internationalism. Where it is manufacturing jobs or environmental degradation, countries don't get better at managing it, they get better at offsetting it to other places to save costs. I think in theory the curve still holds at a global level, but because the global economy is really only at the first quarter of the curve, we have another 50 years before we reach peak global inequality and at least and until then, businesses are going to make rational economic decisions and move from one country to another finding the one with the weakest environmental rand social egulations and exploit. What we are seeing is that these companies then take money earned on the global market and focus it on creating havens for their businesses by reducing policy risk through lobbying these small, easily influenced countries. Whether that is making the country less democratic, or creating political unrest as to confuse the population into infighting with each other. If we are to have real change and follow the curve as discussed in theory, we the people need to overcome these entrenched interests globally which means Europeans have an interest in influencing American politics and Americans should have an interest in influencing Vietnamese politics.

    I disagree. The points you cite regarding inequality are largely attributed to the absence of sound money. If money truly acted as a store of value, this would be incredibly powerful for the poorest in society. Instead, fiat paper money is inflated away - a regressive tax on the poor. Meanwhile, financialization enables debtor companies to benefit from inflation. At the same time, infinite paper money facilitates over expansion of the state with the poor and middle classes held as the collateral via their future tax revenues. Sort out the system of money and everything changes. Tragically, few will ever realise this. Bitcoin.
