When I read people like Angus Dayton,
not the comedian, the other guy, and what they write about inequality, I'm struck by how little they talk about tax.
The whole of the academic inequality literature is much broader than that.
It looks at education, skills, family background, geography, health, transport, labour market, political power, housing, inheritance tax, all of these other things which are critical to inequality and the problems which society faces.
A wealth tax feels like a simplistic cop-out.
This is all not my expertise.
So I'm not going to say too much other than the fact that some inequality experts spend all of their time talking about tax and no time talking about the other very obvious drivers of inequality rather bugs me.
I find the way she writes about it a bit strange because...
Google has made a bunch of people billionaires.
It's also made me way happier and more productive.
And my iPhone, I should be grabbing it and waving it, but I think I've lost it.
That's made a bunch of people in California very wealthy.
But it's also greatly enhanced my life.
So there's a balance, and I'm not quite sure it's being struck.
I completely see that.
I don't.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say I think Elon Musk is a bad person and has too much power.
Is this a problem in the UK?
Do billionaires have significant political power in the UK to a dangerous degree?
Not clear to me that's true.
