Inequality. 3 major countries. from my labor economist acquaintance in Harrisburg

[ish mailian]

Income inequality is rising in France, China, and USA. And in much of
the world. Why? And what can/should be done about it? Notice that in
the USA, income inequality doubles from 1982 to 2012. Are the rich
getting richer as the poor get poorer? Are the poor in the developing
economies, such as China, India, Brazil, where inequality is rising
doing better than the poor in the OECD and in the USA? Also, income
may not be the best measure of the divide. Healthcare and health is a
significant counter to the strict income inequality measure. For
example, China got healthy before it got wealthy. The USA got wealthy
but never healthy. And now seems ready make more people less healthy
by rolling back the AHC that Obama made. When you look at how China
has gotten wealthy, you can't help but consider if so much of that
wealth came at the expense of USA. Would make a good Trump Tweet.
