Step 2, extend it all the way to the present day, some 33 years after the initial sample. Step 3, pose a pseudo-problem about the present day. What about assessing this question across a statistically meaningful span of time, say against GDP per person from 1700 - 1850 and onward to the present? This would cover the effect of the arrival of big changes to productivity, for example the arrival of the so-called "oil era"? Or indeed the invention of the internet, the arrival of the personal computer, the motor car, mechanised printing, shipping containerisation? Surely these had big impacts on human output per person, whereby small numbers of people became more productive at the expense of the many, and by virtue of their magnitude, actually assist in understanding these changes to productivity. The imposition of austerity is a mere road-bump by comparison and alterations to public sector productivity have been impacted far more by external changes e.g. in the case of the NHS, introduction of excel, switching to email etc.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16101875926815638555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546602206734889307.post-58380510527450113632014-04-19T18:49:37.013+00:002014-04-19T18:49:37.013+00:00I am very happy to read this.

I think it is a more general aversion by voters to taxation plus the fact (I have seen evidence for this from many countries) that almost every family imagines that it will have to pay inheritance tax, wherreas extremely few actually do. But what is a campaigning political party for if not to put something forward in accordence with its values and then go out and fight for it?Andrew Watthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16895247679426400640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546602206734889307.post-11411193458513365042014-04-16T10:39:19.935+00:002014-04-16T10:39:19.935+00:00I'm extremely concerned that the UK is sliding...I'm extremely concerned that the UK is sliding towards becoming like what the US is now: an oligarchy shrouded in a rhetorical veil of democracy, with extreme inequality, mass poverty and huge economic problems. At the moment that seems to be the UK's trajectory; with increasing inequality, a government which is unambiguously being run for elite interests and with policies which appear to be trying to mimic some of the more egregious aspects of American society (such as the pernicious privatisation of the NHS and increasing University tuition fees).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546602206734889307.post-15390371281707235922014-04-16T06:55:07.837+00:002014-04-16T06:55:07.837+00:00I would like to see a graph or graphs plotting ine...I would like to see a graph or graphs plotting inequality over the years.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501662169418630106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546602206734889307.post-77144568272661104842014-04-15T22:38:20.694+00:002014-04-15T22:38:20.694+00:00I think your characterisation of the Left's re...I think your characterisation of the Left's response to the 'Austerity is working' 'twaddle', as pathetic, was stinging but sadly fair comment. This post is another timely 'pull yourself together', slap. I wonder what the Labour Party High Command's strategy is re economic policy. The next election will be decided in a relatively few number of marginal seats in non 'Westminster Village' constituencies. Whether support from big business will prove decisive in these seats I can't judge. However, I suspect the rising inequality narrative would gain greater traction. But you can't expect to get support by simply raising an issue. You need to present policies to address it. Is this the real problem?Maslinmemohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237948424601642413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546602206734889307.post-6789150045583889892014-04-15T14:20:22.591+00:002014-04-15T14:20:22.591+00:00What is with the implied criticism of the FT?

The chief economics editor (Martin Wolf) is a committed Keynesian for crying out loud.

It is a nice gesture. But how many members of the emergency services actually pay inheritance tax?"<br /><br />And as ever, Stefan Collini's 'Blahspeak' 8 April 2010 at the LRB is pitch-perfect on Milburn (a shorter piece appeared in the Guardian as 'Social mobility: the playing field fallacy' Monday 23 August 2010).<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546602206734889307.post-73666863163424946952014-04-15T13:19:47.882+00:002014-04-15T13:19:47.882+00:00One would have thought that a major barrier to Lab...One would have thought that a major barrier to Labour playing this card was that inequality increased 1997-2007, but has hardly moved at all 2010-2014.<br />That is not to say that Labour moves on inequality would be unwelcome, but rather that the politics if it are, to say the least, problematic.<br />SpinningHugonoreply@blogger.com
