By contrast, a mix of low production complexity and high inequality is also a scenario of low learning, in which the balance between the importation of technology and endogenous efforts to adapt, fine-tune and innovate leans towards importation. First, the income distribution that emerges from the market is already affected by State intervention (or lack thereof): the setting of minimum wages, employer-worker bargaining, and the regulation of the degree of monopoly in the goods and services markets, among other factors, all have direct consequences on primary income inequality. In other words, the income distribution that results from production and the market is not inexorable but rather is determined by a social construct defined by the institutional and policy environment, together with labour productivity.
