massive maldistribution of wealth
this really warrants some homework and discussion, but for now, since the conference is over, i’m just going to drop it in here and see if anything starts.
according to one walter williams (i couldn’t find a nice bio to link in here in a few minutes of searching), “massive maldistribution” of wealth has severely weakened U.S. political institutions and democracy.
i dropped a hint related to this earlier, but i haven’t really had a chance to apply myself.
since i hacked up joi’s emergent democracy paper not too long ago, this is an interesting subject to play in.
