But above all, structural inequality means that poor and marginalised people bear the deadliest brunt of climate change. And this is *exactly* what that means. So if you've ever decried climate change fuelled by billionaires, don't ever say, "why didn't they just evacuate??" Fix your hearts.
Structural inequality impacts everything. Structural inequality keeps poor people poor, because God forbid Louisiana pass legislation that might benefit a Black person. Structural inequality keeps people tied to low paying, abusive jobs with no hope of better.
Climate change is linked to inequality and immigration. Neither will be solved unless global agreements can be reached and western countries invest in poorer countries' economies. I will not be alive when that happens, and it will not happen whilst we have politicians who think in electoral cycles.
Just last week, I was told by a (male) senior academic that gender inequality doesn't exist per se - it's just income inequality because women earn less. If only, my friends. Much progress, a long way to go. www.nber.org/papers/w3282...

The term is more or less exclusively a gamer expression, which cheapens the real issue of interregional inequality in the UK, and then also uses the expression wrong. Eurospeak "convergence" and "cohesion" are both far clearer and more appropriate for this.
Many put billionaires on a pedestal as visionaries and entrepreneurial genuise but it should be obvious that wealth is a poor metric for wisdom #billionaries#wealthandwisdom#exploiters#inequalityprosyn.org/EaUSFCU
Daron Acemoglu thinks the social, cultural, and political influence wielded by the superrich has reached a dangerous level.
Every day that passes convinces me more and more than Piketty's Capital & Capital and Ideology were the two most important books I will read, certainly for the next 30 years. It's all inequality all the way down baby
