Krugman on Understanding Inequality

 On Paul Krugman's substack, he has seven posts on Understanding Inequality which are paywalled.

Inequality has been a intrinsic economic interest of mine as well as social economic change, however peaceful, evolving, or violent it might be.  You can read Saez, Zucman, Piketty, Stiglitz, as well as others and they are all struggling with multiple interacting variables which change in real time.  I wish I had had the opportunity to study with James Tobin.

Consequently, understanding economic inequality causes and consequences is an unending project requiring different inquiries and perspectives.

Paul Krugman is adding his voice in a mainstream format for everyman to think about inequality and his seven posts, not paywalled, can be found  at the CUNY Stone Center.  When you follow the redirect and page down on Krugman's page you will come to Selected Work where you will choose News and Commentary.  There you will find the posts listed down from the seventh.
