New study reveals wealth inequality was never inevitable

Fascinating work. I'm in the process of reading David Graeber's The Dawn of Everything, so this is timely for me.

I read debt: the first 5000 years and found it fascinating.

Personally I think wealth inequality has changed because now wealth is portable.

2000 years ago, someone with wealth like musk would have had to collect, transport and guard a mountain of gold bullion.

nowadays it's just number goes up in a bank computer.

Well yes, but telling people that it is inevitable and having them believe it comes from political economy not reality.
