I believe that "flatter" societies have better performance and social stability. The intergenerational wealth disparities described here are but one face of a growing inequality problem. However, I think it's a particularly important facet to the problem because of its demographic effects (ie. revolutions are always driven by young people). I think we need to address the inequality problem in general as well as the intergenerational problem in particular -- I guess this essay was an attempt to examine the latter in a non-hysterical way (in contrast to some of the articles I cited ;-)Angus Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01518875828382696708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762293635463803805.post-58435528657805920442014-12-22T03:49:51.225-08:002014-12-22T03:49:51.225-08:00Hi Angus,

I am aware that there are quite a few large organisations that are paying little to no taxes on substantial incomes and it isn't a good look.Fernglade Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950962122594709186noreply@blogger.com
