text: No, Kim Kardashian is not addicted to drugs. TMZ reported today that a sheriff's department in Bradley County Tennessee had a picture of Kim Kardashian in their before and after meth addict gallery. This is probably the work of an unsuspecting intern who thought they could pull a prank by putting Kim Kardashian after the effects of methamphetamine in the photo gallery. This mishap is now being spread all over the internet and the Bradley County Sherrif's department have taken down the gallery in wake of the controversy.

I am an apple pie-meister and so is my daughter (Anderson SC) but she learned all the tricks of the trade from me. I love apple pie, chili, deviled eggs and am always trying new recipes. My test kitchen is my husband (he will try anything I give him to eat!) and the people at church. They are in the same category as my husband. My favorite "experimental line" is black beans and salsa. Second place is interesting combinations of ginger and snow peas. Another passion is GARLIC - Live Garlic and LOVE Garlic. I am looking for a can't-miss recipe for granola. I love cooking for people and giving food gifts, especially at Christmas!! I believe that food translates to LOVE for most people and what could be better than to know that someone loves you and thought enough to cook something (ANYTHING-it's truly the thought that counts) for you. It's sort of a mission for me.
Scallops, smoothies, roast pork loin. I like REAL food much more than desserts.

So ironic that RA, a rabid proponent of QE, rails against inequality.
"IF THERE were not a large class of influential people convinced that distributional issues in an economy are not especially important"...
There's a better way to finish that sentence, to wit:
"...then the wealthy would have found it necessary to invent one."
Having not read the book, just the commentary, it very much appears to me that the data refers to statistical categories. It does not refer to stable groups of people.
My point is, the "poor" in the income and wealth statistics, are not a static groups of people. This point is not made often enough and is crucially important, I think.
Instead of looking at the to 1%, or the top 20% category and comparing it to the bottom categories, we should be following individual households instead. A household that is in the lowest income category, may, after 5 years, find itself in a higher income category.
The poor are typically young people, who do not yet have the skills and experience to earn a high income, or accumulated significant wealth. In 5 years time, that may well have changed. During our lifetime, we move in and out of these statistical categories.
How much did you make in your first job? And were you overly concerned with the wealth of the rich at that time, maybe Bill Gates, or Steve Jobs? Or were you working on your career, instead, thinking that you'd make more money later in life?
This income mobility potentially changes the discussion completely. Suddenly we are no longer talking about a group that is poor and group that rich, and the difference between these tearing the country apart.
What arises is a dynamic picture, where upward mobility at least in part as a consequence of hard work makes our relative economic situations far more acceptable than the author would have us believe.
Except that income mobility has been declining for decades. This blog has discussed it before.
Thank you for your reply. Regarding declining income mobility, two points:
Firstly, the only way to establish that is indeed to do the research as I proposed: follow individual households, instead of statistical categories. If you keep looking at categories, it will tell you very little about the actual people - the interesting bit. Your reply, however, implies that Piketty did not do that(?).
Secondly, suppose that it is right what you say, and that income mobility is indeed declining. I guess we can agree this is bad, right?
Assuming that we agree that declining income mobility is a bad thing, we should try to reverse that. Of course a lot of things affect income mobility, and one is the incentive of improving your lot in life.
Actually, is a very wide income distribution not an indicator of opportunity - that you can achieve great things? Is a narrow income distribution not an indicator that, whatever your efforts, your lot in life is caught in that narrow band?
By taxing the wealthy and redistributing it to the poor, for the express purpose of narrowing the income/wealth gap, we are purposely reducing the very incentive that drives income mobility.
Reducing the incentives to do so, I think, is a signal that we have given up on some people. Worse still, in Piketty's reasoning, are these redistributive taxes not a pay-off to please not overthrow society/democracy?
To put it cynically: in a way it is admitting that Marx was largely right, and Piketty's contribution here is that through redistributive taxes we may be able to avoid the otherwise inevitable revolution.
Sorry - clicked on the recommend button by accident. My bad :-)
Those studies have been done prior to Piketty. See a good reference here: http://www.economist.com/news/finance-and-economics/21571399-surnames-of...
There's no doubt that mobility is low; the only question is whether it was always low or if it was higher at some point earlier. And if you're concerned about mobility, Piketty's critque raises very salient points.
On the one hand, all of the research that we have on incentives shows that the marginal return of income at very high levels drops sharply. On the other, high concentrations of wealth entrench and expand existing inequality by ensuring that the children of the wealthy have far greater assets and opportunities than those of the non-wealthy. While Piketty's research is a separate issue than this point, it's reasonable to conclude that if one of our goals is to avoid the establishment of an aristocracy, some level of redistribution is necessary.
Thank you for the interesting point you raise. I will order a copy the book and check it out.
Piketty must be given credit for the critique on the burgeoning inequality in economic terms and that which the commentaries of our times visualize as a mere 'occupational hazard' that the conduct of capitalism leaves behind to be endured.
But I am a bit curious that return on capital could actually continue on a trajectory that shows no signs of abatement, while the growth of wage has faltered in every cycle. This is not so obviously explainable, given that the stock of capital can only rise if productive avenues of investment make it possible to be ploughed back into the very avenues that create growth in income. The inter-connectedness of this paradigm would have made the trajectories find more in common, but the dysfunctional arrangement in the two trajectories leaves a sobering thought that perhaps capital's divergence from labor has more to do with the valuation of contribution in labor, which by virtue of its concentration in certain managerial faculties, makes a stunning case that Piketty has pointed out.
However, I still would argue that as corporations move through the business cycles, ploughing back investments in their own lines of business is never a smooth journey as capacity utilization becomes a dominant factor or continuity in innovation and balancing such investments through treasury in other classes of assets makes it a complex affair; therefore the marginal return of capital even in a successful business cannot remain high forever.
I don't think that relative inequality of wealth would matter all that much to many people (aside from your correspondent above) or the increase in same if those who were not part of the 1% were seeing their incomes rise by 2 or 3% per annum on average as they did for much of the second half of the 20th century.
It is, I would argue, the stagnation of the incomes of ordinary people that makes measurements of relative wealth more interesting to more people than would otherwise be the case.
Yes, and that is a central part of Piketty's narrative, the long period - to which you refer - when r
The writer of this blog is decidedly more French than I. Why care if Bernard Arnault has a personal wealth in tens of billions and if his r is superior for a while to g? I don t as long as we carefully check that he does not have the power to trump democratic rules and my living standard improves. But it is a definite French quality to really be annoyed by this. Also given my age and therefore the pc of bonds in my assets I don t see my real return being superior to g. Anecdotal: how come people leave the country that corresponds the most to piketty s vision ( france: one of the most unhappy country in the world) and flock to New York one of the most unequal. Finally the only solution presented by piketty is totally undoable. Better concentrate on how to raise g.
Why is no one picking up on the key policy implication of Piketty's "Capital"?
If capital income usually oustrips labour income, then to combat inequality, we must have policies which force savings for the poor.
E.g. Singapore's CPF, Australia's Superannuation, Malaysia's EPF, etc.
Note that the USA's IRA's, UK ISA's, which are voluntary savings schemes benefit the rich who use the tax advantages while the poor give it a pass.
We need MANDATORY savings schemes from employment income in order to benefit the poor.
Critics will say a forced savings scheme is like raising the minimum wage, but the most recent research shows that the demand for labour in fast food restaurants and supermarkets is typically inelastic.
Forced savings, forced savings, forced savings, for the poor.
We have forced savings in the USA.
It's called Social Security.
The trouble is, is that the Federal gov't - both parties - have borrowed $2.5 Trillion from it and they don't want to pay it back.
I see Japan is going to change it's pension fund investment percentages.
Japan overhauls its public pension fund, the world's biggest
Sorry folks, we lost your pension money gambling on the stock markets. (Deep bow.)
Social Security is fundamentally different from those savings schemes mentioned.
Forced taxes, forced taxes, forced taxes for the rich. They are only worthless parasites and they aren't a large demographic so why the hell not screw them over..
Or can you forsee better outcomes for a class that is both infinitely stupid and infinitely greedy?
The problem with handing cash to the poor is that after a few years the cash will end up with the rich again if they don't save.
There needs to be forced savings which people cannot access till they retire, or only access partially for very specific needs like buying housing or medical emergencies. That is what will lift the poor's living standards over time.
Forced saving merely redirects more wealth to the wealthy. The poor do *not* look after their forced investments, which are therefore easily whittled away by rent seekers.
No. Small businesses providing goods and services to the poor are not necessarily "rich".
First, that is not the experience in the countries mentioned above.
Second, I'm open to suggestions. How would you propose to raise the savings rate of the poor?
Third, I don't undestand what you are trying to say about small businesses.
1. It is most certainly the experience in Australia, where I live. The Financial Services industry skim much of the investment profits - e.g. through trailing commissions and other "techniques". Company executives are massively overpaid because shareholders are far removed from the running of companies - i.e. they are forced savers with no interest in managing their investments. Exacutive salary decisions are rubber-stamped by large fund managers who are all part of the same club.
2. Increasing base money per capita shifts productivity gains from workers to bankers. Productivity gains should result in mild deflation, which increases purchasing power and encourages saving. However the bankers redirect those gains to their own pockets by offsetting them with base money increases. The inflationary effect of the increase in base money is masked by the deflationary effect of productivity increases. To encourage saving, keep base money per capita constant.
3. Re: Small business: I'm saying that the spending of the poor does not automatically end up with the rich - much of it goes to the small businesses that provide them with goods and services. These small businesses are on the whole not wealthy.

1. On what basis do you make this assertion? Last I checked there were plenty of funds with a total expense ratio well under 1%. If you still think this is high you can always go DIY with your friends via SMSF.
2. Agree partially but it is not enough. The main driver of low savings for the poor is the lack of self discipline.
3. Maybe in the first round. By the second and subsequent rounds the money will end up with the rich.
1. OK, so you agree that there is "ticket-clipping" of up to 1% per annum. Read this also: http://www.smh.com.au/business/super-system-expensive-and-inefficient-sa... 'In an apparent reference to overcharging, it says principal-agent theory suggests that the separation of the ownership of funds from those who manage them "opens up the risk that managers rationally maximise their own interests at the expense of fund members".' My own personal experience bears this out - a 4% trailing commission buried in the fine print. I caught it but most wouldn't. "SMSF with friends" - you can't be serious - you expect this from people who you admit have no self-discipline?
2. Savings forced upon people who don't have self-discipline will not be guarded and managed properly by them due to the same lack of self-discipline, and will therefore be eaten away. You are just playing "whack-a-mole". Forced savings money is "dumb money". Policy makers should focus on making the system equitable - which primarily means no QE/low-interest money fountain for the asset-rich.
3. Perhaps, but at least the poor get the goods and services they need in the meantime. As opposed to their productivity gains being siphoned off directly into the pockets of the already wealthy.
How about a compromise - force additional taxes on the rich, give that money to the poor and then force the poor to save it.
That way we all (I assume the middle class is statistically insignificant by then) feel oppressed and have something to grumble about during family gatherings.
BTW, the main reason that poor people do not save is not lack of self-control, it's lack of money.
I never said cut taxes or no new taxes. But we must not cloud the issue. Forced savings, first and foremost, is a necessary and sufficient condition to make the poor better off.
I agree with Mr. Crook that the absolute living standards of a populace are a better measure of a country or group's economic welfare than the equitable distribution of either income or wealth within it. For example, I have long thought that it would be possible for Americans to eventually enjoy European levels of per-capita social welfare expenditures at lower levels of taxation owing to faster economic growth over a sustained period. I could be mistaken but, were I poor and given the choice, I think I'd prefer to live in a country with a higher absolute living standard than one with a lower living standard but a more equitable income or wealth distribution.
I think you have actually proven that the opposite of your claim is true - that wealth is relative contemporaneously, rather than historically. In other words, that given the option you would prefer to be wealthier NOW rather than merely getting richer than you were previously. Poor in Stockholm, rather than poor in a Chinese village. Likewise, I doubt that you would have much luck convincing a 17th Century monarch to take a one-way trip in time to become a welfare recipient in 21st Century America, despite the present availability of indoor plumbing, electricity and Internet.
I could be mistaken but, were I poor and given the choice, I think I'd prefer to live in a country with a higher absolute living standard than one with a lower living standard but a more equitable income or wealth distribution.
In most cases a poor person doesn't care about that.

aiden clarke:
My post may have been confusing, but it wasn't my intent to suggest a temporal preference for wealth or income today versus wealth or income tomorrow. Put another way, faced with a choice between life in two otherwise equivalent countries in the present, I would prefer to live in the country which offered the higher average absolute living standard than the country with a more equitable distribution of income or wealth.
Separately - and I realize this is contentious - I would expect, all other things being equal, that an economy with high redistributive taxation would have a lower average growth rate than one with low(er) redistributive taxation. On this assumption, given sufficient time, the higher growth economy would be able to achieve the same level of per-capita social expenditures despite the lower level of taxation.
Aidan: "Likewise, I doubt that you would have much luck convincing a 17th Century monarch to take a one-way trip in time to become a welfare recipient in 21st Century America, despite the present availability of indoor plumbing, electricity and Internet."
It would depend on the individual, but I'll bet I would have a good chance of persuading the monarch given the prospect of a longer, healthier life for himself and his family and superior diversions and comforts on offer today. For anyone outside the aristocracy, it would be a no-brainer.
I read the article about Italy's immigration problem. It suggests some North Africans are motivated by a desire to escape the chaos in Libya and cites the belief by Italian officials that some Tunisians hope to be reunited with family members. Those are not strictly economic motivations. Was this your point?
Picketty's point is not about 'average' living standards, although I can excuse modern-day economists for wanting to jump straight to the averages. Inequality shows up when you have the wealthiest 85 citizens on this planet v the poorest 50% of citizens on this planet. Their aggregate wealths are equivalent (Oxfam).
Or the poorest US quintile who has negative average net worth of USD27,000, and the second poorest quintile had an average net worth of USD 5,500. Needless to say, the average net worth of the wealthiest 1% of US households was USD16.4m (Civil20, 2013, p183).
I'm sure economists and statisticians can handle most of these concepts.
Your point is well taken, I would revise my statement substituting median for average (mean).
Especially with globalisation and the invention of the internet etc, isn't quality of life, at least in terms of consumption more equal? Both the rich and the poor can buy iPhones made in China and waste their lives playing candy crush and angry birds...
But the rich can "hire" a writer from any magazine to write articles to try to steer public opinion.
But the rich can give much more money to politicians - McCutcheon v. FEC - and to SuperPacs that back candidates than the poor.
America long ago became the most wealthy and powerful nation in history.
It didn't accomplish this by listening to the French.
The genius of American democracy (and that of the UK) is that it does not deal in theory. It does not matter whether that theory is from a hairy German Jew who hung out in the British Library or a French savant who has written an improbable best-seller.
In short, this is much ado about nothing.
Americans don't much care whether r>g. Most American can barely handle A=bw. But, Americans are pretty good at horse trading and know how to take care of themselves. The unions, corporations, colleges, umpty-umpt minorities and special interest groups . . . all of these can cut their own deals without reference to theory.
"Inequality" is today's fad and just replaced "bullying," which was yesterday's fad which, in turn, edged out "The War on Women" by a nose. Something else will replace "Inequality" as the topic du jour and when it does French theorists will have a tough time getting lecture fees.
We are all taking this fellow much too seriously. After all, did French love of pure theory lead to stable government since 1789 and victory in WW II?
It's a good point. Things are perfect, and their perfection is necessarily so. There's no need to listen to those who attempt to point out the world's imperfections, as they are necessarily wrong.
Well, you started out well but as a coiner of phrases, Benjamin Franklin you are not. Work on syntax.
America has accomplished all that it has accomplished first because it was a frontier (and established elites tend to be far less interested in frontiers, making for greater equality of opportunity) and second because it benefited from the equalising effects of two world wars without suffering from the vast destruction of infrastructure Europe did.
Now that both effects have largely run their course America is beginning to run into trouble. As any great group/company/nation/empire eventually does. And Pikkety does quite well explaining why.
The US Census Bureau announced that the frontier no longer existed in the year 1890. You are a mere 124 years too late.
As for the devastation of WW2, yes it was terrible - and it was 70 years ago. This is a fascinating episode but it belongs to the long-ago past along with "Fibber McGee and Molly" or the Andrews Sisters.
This "American is beginning to run into trouble" jeremiad could have been written during the worldwide depression of the 1890s, the Great Depression (when the American experiment seemed a colossal failure) or even the severe 1958 recession. These "hard times" came -- and went -- without the tutorial of French savants.
We have a right to be suspicious of "long-term" trends in history. In 1900 the "long-term trend" was ever-increasing European imperialism. In 1935 the "wave of the future" was fascism (which, BTW, was quite popular with the French intellectuals of that time!) In the 1960s and 1970s French intellectuals had virtually given up on capitalism and democracy and were positive (read Sartre) that Marxism was the long-term wave in human history.
Then, there are people like FDR who deal with problems as they arise, eschew theory, deal with problems one day at a time and don't try to peer to deeply into the future or try to understand "the grand cosmic meaning" if it all. People like this -- Ike and HST were two others -- generally stay focused on the present and leave angst to the savants.
"One does not reason with intellectuals. One shoots them." -- Napoleon
Americans dabbled with frontier economies throughout 2013, when emerging markets went 'off the boil' because their unbelievable returns-on-investment were ... not believable. I recollect the IMF/World Bank's fall sessions, when there was incredible angst about the Fed tapering/not tapering and these 'frontier economies' emerged from nowhere.
The DC aura was palpable, as investment bankers, venture capitalists, hedge fund managers all seemed keen on donning a Crockett 'coon-skin, arming themselves with a Bowie knife, and ploughing into the economies of ... Nigeria, Myanmar, Slovenia, Chile ...
As for the emerging markets, so the frontier economy interest quickly waned, and $4.2t of 'hot money' took flight for a 'return to safety' in the US economy that was promisingly on the turn, or not?
The emphasis you say you added in your second quote didn't make it thru the editor.
I don't find a world in which the top 10% control 90% of all wealth to be particularly terrifying because the degree to which living standards are impacted by wealth is far less obvious than the degree to which they're impacted by income.
Most people who have recently graduated with an advanced degree live quite comfortably, despite having a negative net worth. In fact, their financial future is almost certainly more secure than a 50-year-old former steelworker who may be a paper millionaire, but is unlikely to see a paycheck for the rest of his life. What matters in such cases is cash flow, not assets.
When it comes to income, there's probably less cause for panic than some would suggest. Data from the Congressional Budget Office show that, despite widening inequality, real incomes for all quintiles have risen since 1979:
Where Piketty does get it wrong....
Is it fair, he argued, that a person with a $450,000 mortgage on a $500,000 home pays the same property taxes as a person who owns a $500,000 house outright? Clearly, they do not have the same amount of equity in their home, but the tax rate makes it more difficult for the new purchaser to acquire a home (mortgage payments plus tax payments) than it does for the owner to keep it (tax payments alone.)
Property taxes - in my state - go to fund local schools, police, fire, and the local share of road improvements, just to name the big parts of it.
So yes, as they both get the same services, unless one has children and the other does not and does not want to subsidize the school for the other.
Piketty's logic seems to say, "Suck the equity out your home and spend it, so you will pay less property taxes and have less wealth."
Of course there are sales taxes on spending, which need to be accounted for.
Perhaps Piketty doesn't realize that in the US, interest paid on a mortgage is tax-deductable.
Property taxes are not really a tax on capital. They are such a low percentage (1 to 1.5 percent) that they really act as an analog to income taxes. If they were a really high percentage then they wouldn't work - because they would drain capital in the person's lifetime.
"even if living standards among the masses are not completely stagnant."
Why should we think that living standards are even close to stagnant? Consider this thought experiment: take someone today making, say, $50K and offer them the exact same real wage but they would instead be alive in 1980 with its attendant standard of living. How many people would either prefer 1980 or be indifferent to the choice? Very few is my guess. Furthermore, how much extra money would people have to be given to choose 1980 over the present day? Think about it: no internet (google, email, online maps, news -- the list is nearly endless), no netflix, no smartphone, no high-def TV, no digital cameras, no DVD (or even CD really), none of the medical advances since then, almost guaranteed no nearby Whole Foods or other high-end grocer, less interesting restaurant options, no Zipcar, no EZ Pass, no Xbox, worse cars, no cell phone (OK, you could have a big, bulky one, but who would you call?) -- the list is almost endless.
The rise in living standards has been enormous (probably less so for a minimum wage worker, but still significant I would wager), and not sure about the rest of you but I'd have to get offered a lot more money in exchange for the living standards of 34 years ago. This seems to get lost in the inequality debate.
I am probably swimming against the tide, but here goes...
If r > g then it can only be so for a reasonably short period of time. Suppose r is the return on wealth W and g is the growth in total amount of goods and services produced, P. Since r > g then at some point in time W = P since W is growing faster than P. At this point the total amount of goods and services available for the non-holders of W must start to decrease and eventually the entire sum of all goods and services produced belong to the owners of W at which point there is zero left for everyone else. At this point, r = g and Piketty has passed from the sublime to the ridiculous.
What Piketty is describing is a systematic looting of the economy. It helps to look at it on a small scale. Suppose an investor in a firm attempted to achieve a return on his investment in excess of the growth rate of the firm. When he does this, he is looting the company. Pretty soon he is selling off the firms assets to continue to finance his excessive return and the accountants are sure to notice. When Piketty assumes r > g, he assumes that this looting of firms is going on everywhere simultaneously. But it isn't precisely because r < g almost all of the time. There is no other way around it.
Piketty asserts that r > g, but it cannot be. If Piketty's interpretation of his data supports r > g then both is data and his interpretation bear a closer examination.
And yet the data disagrees. Piketty doesn't "assume" that r>g, he proves it. That's what the book is for. Where's the contradictory data?
You should qualify that statement. Macroeconomic data prior to the 19th century are extremely unreliable. So, where data permit inference, he basically concluded that in the first 100 years of capitalism, when there was a lot of labor and little capital, r > g. In the following century, 1913-2012, g > r. And remember that nowadays most people in advanced economies have capital gains (and hence have "returns on capital"), as they have some kind of financial or real estate investment. At last, in a global scale inequality has been going down - not up - since the late 1970s, mostly due to capital flows (and respective high returns on capital) and industrialization in Asia which increased productivity and wages.
Again, all this is accounted for already by Piketty. I'm not hearing anything new. Is there a disagreement?
If you disregard less reliable data (say, prior to 1700 - since his assumption of a constant r of 4.5% between years 0-1700 made me smile, no less), it's hard to affirm r > g is a secular underlying rule of market economies, especially if you assume - as Piketty does - that capital is subject to diminishing marginal returns. What you can attest for sure is that this happened in the first 100-150 years of his analysis but not in the following 100 years. So you need to qualify your general statement that "r > g". It was in the 19th century, but not in the 20th century.
"If you disregard the data, it's hard to prove [anything]."
Even then, all the post-1700 data checks out. The early stuff helps, but it's not necessary to the theory. 300 years is enough of a sample for me.
"His argument is that the living standards of many people around the rich world are now unnecessarily low..."
I think that's the key point. You don't need a few really rich people in order for the living standards of everyone else to rise.
In fact, it's a detriment, and if nothing else because it leads to lower money multipliers with a given economy.
I don't think there's any way around the need for the prospect of vast wealth if you want to incentivize innovation. You may well believe that Brin and Page would have tried to "organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful" even if it "only" offered them the chance to become millionaires. And you may even be right.
But the people who provided Google with the necessary capital were certainly motivated by more pecuniary interests.
You do need the prospect of some wealth, maybe even great wealth, it incentivize innovation. But relative wealth on the scale that we currently see? Hard to make a case that so much is really helpful. Especially if the extreme concentration means that there is actually a lower probability of success for innovators.
I think the causality is the reverse of what you're describing. If new ventures become riskier, investors will demand greater returns in order to compensate for that risk.
It's not entirely clear why the concentration of wealth would influence a new firm's chances of turning a profit.
So what you're saying is that the return to wealth offered to founders of companies like IBM and HP wouldn't be enough to allow those companies to accumulate capital?
I think it helps to compare a high inequality world with a low inequality one. In your example, there's still capital available to fund Google's startup, and the giant returns to scale provided by the internet are still there, foretelling massive profits. Returns to capital overall are lower, but that's true for capital as a whole. In both scenarios, VC firms are looking to invest where they can get the highest expected return.
I think this is an unknown known. For example, if someone had told Gates that Microsoft would only have brought him $50 million in wealth vs. $70 billion, I haven't seen evidence that he would have refused the deal.
When three-of-four VC-backed startups fail to return even the original investment, you really need that final one to be a home run.
Limit the wealth they can capture from their successful investments, and it's not certain that there will be enough cash flows to pay for the failures.
As I pointed out above, Gates' willingness to found Microsoft would have come to nothing if he'd been unable to find seed funding.
No one is disagreeing with you on this. The question is the expected rate of return, based on the return of Treasuries at the time as a baseline.
That may be the case, and in a more equal world there's likely a little less investment money going around, but I'm not sure that it changes the picture very much. The safe investments that would be the alternative would decline in value too. Any change in risk appetites would be very dependent on what particular policy you were thinking about enacting as a response to inequality, and even then I'm not sure what risk appetite is appropriate.
But most businesses fail. Look at one area where there is not great innovation required, but the failure rate is notorious, and the returns generally small: restaurants. And yet people keep starting them.
Having a 1 in 4 chance of success looks like a relatively good deal. Even before the huge potential returns are figured in.
We've incentivised rent-seeking along with innovation. I don't decry Microsoft's right for an IP royalty for software inventions but, when they withdraw support for products like Windows-95 and Windows-XP, they are not entitled to any continuing royalty streams from those products, and the development of those products.
Similarly for the one-mouse-click patent. I'm sure many of us detested the double-click, particularly when we got it wrong. Some bright-spark software engineer develops/retrofits a single-click replacement in some of the current software products, gets awarded a patent and a royalty stream; for inventing what? ... common-sense.
Our regulators need to get better at ferreting out rent-seeking behaviours, and ensuring the wealthy can't get wealthier from this pernicious grab for greed.
Agreed. But let's focus on the source(s) of such rent-seeking before we resort to blunt measures that impact legitimate and illegitimate earnings alike.
En contrere. Let's root out the source of (illegitimate) rent-seeking earnings, before they give (legitimate) innovation earnings a bad name. Pronto.
Krugman was on Bill Moyers this week talking of
Video 24 min:
What no one is talking about is the effect of the Supreme Court's decisions on campaign contributions on inequality going forward.
But don't worry, just continue to borrow and spend.
Gawd . . . Krugman on Moyers talking about Piketty!
That's like Larry on Curley talking about Moe.
Consider Clive Crook...
But capital will outpace the economy only if owners of capital save a sufficiently large part of the income they derive from it. (Suppose they save none of it: Their wealth won't grow at all.)
If I buy $100 worth of stock that pays a 4% dividend (r) and the GDP grow rate is 3% (g), I
can spend the $4 - ALL of "of the income they derive from it." - and still get 4% next year.
Assuming the dividend is the same, no matter what the price of the stock is.
Same for a 10 year bond at 4%.
Hit. You sunk my battleship.
But if you spend the entire 4%, your $100 as a percent of GDP (or your $billions if you are a plutocrat), will be lower next year.
Capitalism rewards those who can get into the pockets of as many consumers as possible, leading to increased wealth for them, and decreased wealth for everyone else.
Mr. Crook doesn't seem to understand this.
You don't seem to understand basic economics. First off, no one gets into the pockets of consumers. Rather, consumers gladly hand over the contents of their pockets because it makes them better off. Secondly, for one person to be less wealthy because another is more wealthy implies a fixed size of the pie, which is nonsense.
You don't understand business. I make a very nice living getting in the pockets of consumers.
And, consumers make decisions which make them worse off everyday.
See: Hangover, Bankruptcy, STDs, and Drug Addictions.
Not if I spend the entire 4% on an existing mansion as my 2nd home and that price rises.
If I purchase a new mansion as my 2nd home, then I'm adding to GDP and get the increase of value over the years.
We are not looking at the percentage of GDP.
We are looking at the distribution of wealth.
I feel better off already, with my empty pockets.

Serves 4; ½ cup frozen yogurt and ¼ cup fruit per serving
Our lightened version of Peach Melba features fat-free vanilla yogurt that is pureed with fresh raspberries, layered with peaches, and topped with more raspberries. You need to plan ahead to accommodate the freezing time, then do the layering at the last minute. Because you can freeze the mixture for up to five days, this is a great make-ahead dessert.
6 to 7 ounces fresh raspberries (about 1½ cups), divided use
1½ cups fat-free vanilla yogurt (about 16 ounces)
1 medium peach, peeled and cut into 16 slices
In a food processor or blender, process 1 cup of the raspberries until smooth. (Refrigerate the remaining raspberries, about ½ cup, until serving time.) Pour the processed raspberries into a sieve. Holding the sieve over a small bowl, use the back of a spoon to press the processed raspberries through the sieve to remove the seeds. Discard the seeds. Pour the raspberries back into the food processor.
Add the yogurt. Process until smooth. Spoon into a freezer-proof bowl. Freeze, covered, for 6 to 8 hours, or until solid.
About 20 minutes before serving time, remove the yogurt mixture from the freezer and let soften slightly. Spoon the mixture into the food processor or blender and process until smooth, scraping once.
Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture into each parfait glass. Top each serving with 2 peach slices. Repeat. Spoon the remaining yogurt mixture onto each parfait.
Garnish with the remaining ½ cup raspberries. Serve immediately.
If you prefer using frozen unsweetened raspberries instead of fresh, let them thaw until just icy. Using both the fruit and its juice, proceed as directed. Fresh raspberries, however, will make the most attractive garnish for topping the parfaits.

Guys, after I load the LoL client up on my mac, and put it in the applications folder, then try to make it work, it will just show up as a flash on my bottom toolbar and wont open. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Senior Member
Help, client doesn't open
Can OS X 10.6.8 install this game? i downloaded the game and the mac wouldn't install it Anyone can help? Cheers
Connection Error for Mac. I'm trying to figure this out for a friend who has a Mac. So far here is what I know: 1. It only happens after authentication is verified and it attempts to log on 2. It happens even with the Firewall off 3. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't help 4. We have tried on multiple days so it isn't a random server issue. 5. I've been playing on my mac without a problem using the same wifi connection 6. She has Mountain Lion OSX. I have Lion. But I doubt it would not work just because someone has a more up to date OS. 7. Riot has not yet posted any trouble shooting options for Mac for this problem. Only PC, but of course it has only been out about 2 weeks. 8. I haven't seen any admins post back about it. 9. The problem is probably a lot worse than we think as you can't post on the forums to talk about this because you can never log in to create a summoner. And therefore never get help to solve the problem to where you could even ask for help.
So far it's working good for me. Anyone who is having trouble i'd suggest reinstalling the client into your application folder. As for my complaints? They're minor but here is my list of a wapping 2: 1: the scroll bar at the bottom of the screen has a really small box vertically and is a piss ant to click shouldn't be too hard to fix 2: sometimes when i do click the scroll bar if i move the mouse up it highlights the page and leaves a haze that stays until you quit out of the app which should also be relatively easy to fix. Overall I'm super happy with the way the client runs thanks a ton!
Not a bug but an annoyance! 1. There are multiple LoL icons in the dock, UserKernel, LoL Launcher, LolClient. I have a feeling that fourth one will show up once I launch a game. Its not a major issue, but it looks very clunky and unmac like.
I get an invalid username/password constantly with all accounts I've ever created and tried to use. Please fix, I can't even play the game...

Holishkes (Stuffed Cabbage) Reviews
Epicurious | October 1999
The Second Avenue Deli Cookbook
The Second Avenue Deli
reviews & comments (50)
These were very good with just a couple of adjustments. The meat mixture made enough for at least eight large rolls, with a little left over. Seven rolls and I wouldn't have been able to close the sides of the rolls. I left out the white sugar as I was sure it would make the dish too sweet. The cooking liquid is very soupy at the end, but I'm not a fan of cornstarch, so I covered the cabbage rolls and kept them warm in the oven while I reduced the liquid for 30 minutes. Excellent!
I used this recipe as a guide and tweaked to my preference. Also I "made" tomato sauce out of various boxed tomato soup flavors offered at the store and that worked perfectly for the flavor profile I was going for. All the core flavors are here for your experimentation - Adjust (or not) and Enjoy!
I fondly remember my Grandmother's stuffed cabbage but never had the smarts to ask her for her recipe. After looking at about a dozen recipes, this one seemed the closest to what I remember. I did make some changes: I used 3/4 cup brown sugar and left out the white sugar entirely. I also left out the cinnamon. I added 1/2 cup raisins to the stuffing and 3/4 cup of raisins to the sauce. And to push the sour flavor up, I added the juice of 4 lemons and used cider vinegar instead of white vinegar. Next time I think I may use ground lamb instead of ground beef.
I found this recipe way to sweet, and I even reduced the amount of sugar in half. We could only eat the rolls which were ok, but nothing special.
This was a great dish, absolutely not what I had expected, as the sweet flavor was much more present in this than any other stuffed cabbage I have had. But it was great, no alterations needed.
This was delicious and not the least bit weird, as other reviewers have said. Based on prior reviews and my own preferences, I did make a few changes: 1 lb ground turkey + 1/2 lb ground pork (NOT KOSHER!)for less fat and more flavor; brown rice for white (cooked for 30 min); no white sugar; zested the citrus, removed the pith and then chopped into small pieces; because it was available, used Savoy cabbage for the rolls and regular for the sauce.
Without the orange peel, it was excellent. Seemed like a lot of work but it made plenty of food. Tastes better the next day.
Maybe this is one of those type foods you had to grow up with to enjoy. Had a large organic cabbage from my FarmBox program and didnt know what to do with it. Tried this recipe and it was blah. The only flavor was the sweet and sour from the vinegar and sugar. Everything else was just bland.

Hello all! This is my first post here, though I'm a frequent lurker! I bought two chests that I found on Craigslist - here's pics of the chest-on-chest; I also bought the matching lingerie chest. The chest-on-chest is 51.5" x 36", the lingerie chest is 51.5" x 24". The hardware is solid brass and heavy, no lacquer that I can see. (Normally I'm not one for brass but I think these are beautiful.) The drawers are dovetailed and the pieces are solid wood, no veneer or particle board. I don't know when they were manufactured; certainly they're modern... I would guess the '80s or '90s. They're in pristine condition... a wonderful find for $300.00 for the pair, I think! I didn't find a manufacturer's mark, though, and was wondering if anyone here could tell me who the maker might be or how I could find out.
I'm going to post this on the home decorating forum, also, so you may see it there, too. Please ignore the green (ugh) carpet, clutter and white walls... the room is a work in progress! ;-)) Thanks! Claudia |

Record crowd watches hockey game
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The moment everyone was waiting for finally came during the third period, when fans at Michigan Stadium found out for certain they'd set a hockey attendance record.
Carl Hagelin, a Michigan forward, paused to savor the atmosphere.
"I think we all got goose bumps," Hagelin said. "It was just amazing to see all those people -- probably the loudest environment I've ever been in."
Hagelin scored two goals in the Wolverines' 5-0 victory over Michigan State on Saturday, but the final score was only part of what made this a memorable experience. The crowd, which filled the outdoor stadium's expansive bowl, set a world attendance record for a hockey game.
Michigan announced the attendance at 113,411 during a brief stoppage in play in the third period, although Mike Janela of Guinness World Records said his organization hadn't determined its official count yet. Janela did verify that the attendance was more than enough for a world record.
The previous mark for a hockey game was 77,803 at this year's world championship in Germany.
"Ten years from now, I'm probably going to remember the most fun I've ever had on the ice," Michigan State's Torey Krug said. "Look at these 22-year-old men and they're like little kids."
The game -- dubbed "The Big Chill at the Big House" -- took place nine years after the same two teams played another outdoor game at Michigan State's football stadium. Since then, the idea has been copied at the college level and by the NHL.
The huge crowd made this edition unique. The school's announced attendance would make this the largest crowd to see any event at Michigan Stadium, surpassing the 113,090 for a football game earlier this year.
"I don't know where they found the new seats," cracked Michigan coach Red Berenson, whose normal home venue holds 6,637. "It's good for the state of Michigan. When you have a game like this in a state where the economy is bad, it gives you something to feel good about."
Big show at the Big House
"The Big Chill at the Big House" attracted a record crowd and put college hockey in the headlines. But the impact of outdoor games on the sport's popularity is debatable. Story
The "Big Chill" nickname was a bit of a misnomer, with the temperature in the low 40s at the beginning of the game. With the lines on Michigan's football field still clearly visible, the Olympic-sized rink stretched from one 15-yard line to the other. Instead of adding even more seats for fans, organizers kept the area around the ice clear so fireworks could be set off after goals and again after the game.
"We were in trouble if it rained," Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon said. "We could handle a little snow. In fact, I thought it would be kind of festive to have a little bit of snow, and temperatures -- we could really handle a fair variant of temperatures. Warmer was better for the ice, but we were going to be fine unless we had rain. Rain and sleet, that would have been dangerous for the players."
The sky was fairly clear when the Michigan band began performing in the north end zone before the start of the game. Then Jon Merrill opened the scoring with a shot from the point in the first period, and the crowd let loose with a roar normally reserved for touchdowns in this venue.
Microphones were placed close enough to the ice to amplify the normal hockey sounds of the puck hitting the boards and players skating swiftly back and forth, making it easier for those seated far away to feel like they were part of the action.
An Olympic-sized rink, which is wider than an NHL version, was used to make the sheet look a little less small on top of the football field.
Although wind and rough ice can always cause problems at events like this, the game wasn't too sloppy. Merrill added a second goal before the end of the first period, and then Hagelin added one in the second and another in the third. David Wohlberg completed the scoring for Michigan.
Shawn Hunwick finished with 34 saves for the Wolverines.
Janela said Guinness would need a bit longer to come up with an official attendance figure, possibly using detailed photos of the crowd to make a final count. Guinness receives over 1,000 record applications a week, although only about three percent are approved.
"People really latch on to one I did in Mexico for the largest serving of roast pork -- over 3,000 pounds," Janela said. "I've always wanted to come to the Big House. I never thought it would be for a hockey game."

Rating Change #8
Telefonica Brasil S.A. (VIV - Get Report) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, compelling growth in net income and solid stock price performance. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the growth in the company's earnings per share has not been good.
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- VIV's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 1.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 87.5%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Diversified Telecommunication Services industry. The net income increased by 104.6% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $256.85 million to $525.46 million.
- After a year of stock price fluctuations, the net result is that VIV's price has not changed very much. Although its weak earnings growth may have played a role in this flat result, don't lose sight of the fact that the performance of the overall market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, was essentially similar. Despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year, there is currently no conclusive evidence that warrants the purchase or sale of this stock.
- TELEFONICA BRASIL SA's earnings per share declined by 6.6% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. Earnings per share have declined over the last year. We anticipate that this should continue in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, TELEFONICA BRASIL SA reported lower earnings of $3.74 versus $4.27 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 37.0% in earnings ($2.36 versus $3.74).
Telefonica Brasil, S.A. provides fixed-line telecommunications services to residential and commercial customers in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The company has a P/E ratio of 6.5, below the average telecommunications industry P/E ratio of 11.1 and below the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 17.7. Telefonica Brasil S.A has a market cap of $31.36 billion and is part of the technology sector and telecommunications industry. Shares are up 2.1% year to date as of the close of trading on Friday.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Really easy process of contacting the seller to get a different model added to the list. I cannot believe I didn't discover these cases sooner! Sun 02 Mar 2014 Beautiful case! Really pleased with it! Sat 06 Jul 2013 I really love the case. It is by far the best product out there, and I have done masses of research. I would give it an excellent rating if the printed leather was both front and back, or maybe even the pale blue leather without the printing on the back. I'm just not such a big fan of brown leather. It makes it look a bit too earthy for my tastes. But I still love the case and am very happy with my purchase. Thank you!
