Why?

2018-10-08 14:45:31 UTC  

Total income and income distribution are logically distinct.

2018-10-08 14:45:53 UTC  

the gap betwen the rich and the poor increased due to globalism

2018-10-08 14:46:05 UTC  

Polyarcho-capitalism is best ism.

2018-10-08 14:46:14 UTC  

Nothing scales perfectly, but to assume that you cannot scale an economy and retain similar distribution, in the same system, is not obvious to me.

2018-10-08 14:46:32 UTC  

Cost Savings of Labor? Lower Wages?

2018-10-08 14:47:07 UTC  

In fact, the wealth distribution in similarly organized economic systems of different size is very similar.

2018-10-08 14:47:13 UTC  

More Jobs and Less Labour = High Wages, Vice Versa

2018-10-08 14:47:20 UTC  

Square root of population produces 50% of output. That doesn't scale linearly.

2018-10-08 14:47:22 UTC  

polyarcho??

2018-10-08 14:47:24 UTC  

Are you talking about absolute numbers or distribution?

2018-10-08 14:47:59 UTC  

Sure, the absolute numbers change if you have a country twice the size with the same GDP per capita.

2018-10-08 14:48:09 UTC  

for globalism to work as it is right now, you need poor and uneducated people to gain labor from ( like slave labor) and richer people to sell those products the slaves make at 5 to 20 times cheaper the price than it would cost to make them in the country where they are being sold.

2018-10-08 14:48:09 UTC  

I'm not sure what to make of that insight, though.

2018-10-08 14:48:26 UTC  

Globalism increases inequality within rich countries by playing on the inequality between rich and poor countries. It runs the race to the bottom.

2018-10-08 14:48:59 UTC  

by doing that the industries that used to make those products die

2018-10-08 14:49:09 UTC  

and globalists gain more market share

2018-10-08 14:49:28 UTC  

plus some regulations to make it really hard for anyone to make it like ''global warming'' regulations

2018-10-08 14:49:28 UTC  

The bigger the population, the bigger the inequality.

2018-10-08 14:49:36 UTC  

no

2018-10-08 14:49:40 UTC  

Yes

2018-10-08 14:49:46 UTC  

?

2018-10-08 14:49:49 UTC  

thats a oversimplified statement

2018-10-08 14:49:50 UTC  

depends on population type

2018-10-08 14:50:00 UTC  

The bigger the population the bigger the inequality?

2018-10-08 14:50:05 UTC  

I'm not sure that's obvious.

2018-10-08 14:50:11 UTC  

Square root of population produces 50% of output = The bigger the population, the bigger the inequality.

2018-10-08 14:50:26 UTC  

Various countries in Europe have vastly different size and very similar rates of poverty.

2018-10-08 14:50:30 UTC  

are we at 8 billion ?

2018-10-08 14:50:35 UTC  

or still at 7

2018-10-08 14:50:36 UTC  

Sweden has 10 million people, Germany 85.

2018-10-08 14:50:48 UTC  

Where do you see the starkest contrast?

2018-10-08 14:51:37 UTC  

wouldn't flooding the Swedish Job Market with Millions of Germany's Skilled Techies result in Low Salaries?

2018-10-08 14:51:40 UTC  

I am confused why you assume that two countries of different size cannot have the same wealth distribution.

2018-10-08 14:51:45 UTC  

in the said field

2018-10-08 14:51:46 UTC  

Pareto distribution holds true across all areas of production.

2018-10-08 14:52:25 UTC  

Well, yes various distributions hold true over larger populations, under the same general ocnditions.

2018-10-08 14:52:25 UTC  

it will atleast stamp out any prospects of salary growth

2018-10-08 14:52:46 UTC  

People do not become taller, by distribution, just because you choose more of them.

2018-10-08 14:53:00 UTC  

I am rather confused by the statements above.

2018-10-08 14:53:15 UTC  

Sure, you will end up with more tall people.
