“Well, you can do whatever you want, but just don’t call it inequality. Put the word poverty there. Because we have many rich people on our board, and when they see the word poverty that makes them feel good, because [it means] they’re really nice people who care about the poor. When they see the word inequality it makes them upset, because [it means] you want to take money from them.” PeopleMeanCarePoorPovertyRichNiceFeel GoodInequalityUpsetRich PeopleReally NiceNice People Author:Branko Milanovic
“People in the rich countries who have done very well, who are at the top of the income pyramid, try to steamroll over the opposition of the middle without changing anything in social programs, or any redistribution. And they take their votes for a given. They have rich people that bankroll them. And the globalization would continue, but it would continue with permanent dissatisfaction among large segments of the people.” PeopleTryingCountryDoneRichProgramVoteGlobalizationRich PeopleDissatisfaction Author:Branko Milanovic
