@TerryBoutonHist Thank you for this! Very informative.

@LauBooneEco @BrankoMilan @OECDeconomy @PIIE @AdamPosen @WIL_inequality @amorygethin @lucas_chancel @orsettacausa @stescarpetta Thanks to everyone on this thread and anyone I have missed. As @ojblanchard1 said: twitter at its best. An international “flash” seminar on inequality convened over the course of the day. Definitely feel much smarter about this. Good start to 2020!

This is an absolutely fascinating thread on just one segment of the Eastern front @J_O_Holliday brilliantly conveys the horror and complexity of the Osfront, where “front” is precisely the question. Great stuff! twitter.com/J_O_Holliday/s…

Morgan Stanley projecting US inflation to rise above 2 percent by 2022. Should be an interesting test of the Fed’s new policy doctrine. @MorganStanley via @SoberLook https://t.co/7nmx5gJPqt

Thank you @BrankoMilan this is super clear. But do @amorygethin @lucas_chancel agree? Obviously France and Germany may diverge. But they seem to think the real issue is with US numbers understating market/pretax income inequality. twitter.com/BrankoMilan/st…

@BrankoMilan @OECDeconomy @LauBooneEco @PIIE @AdamPosen @WIL_inequality @amorygethin @lucas_chancel Hi Branko Perhaps I misread them, but dont the @WIL_inequality @amorygethin @lucas_chancel data show the US actually redistributing MORE (gap btw pre and post tax gini is larger), but starting from such a level of inequality that they dont close the gap?

Blue Wave after all: how the Treasury market reacted to America’s political turmoil last week. @SoberLook https://t.co/ggy53FukJf

Thank you @ojblanchard1 If @WIL_inequality take on US inequality is right one i.e. pretax dominates and US welfare/tax system does a LOT of work in failing effort to close gap, then @OECDeconomy should at least be clarified! @LauBooneEco @AdamPosen @PIIE Otherwise misleading. twitter.com/ojblanchard1/s…
