this message tomorrow because the telephone company had cut my possibility
to call because I did not pay the bill. OK, so uses to be in my country.
Anyway I want to express my opinion about the election
I should probably point out why I was looking for more info today on
inequality. In Pagina1 12, the Argentinian left daily, a report came out

Of what, income after taxes transfers? In U.S. pretax distribution
in 1997, the top 20% had 49.4% of income, and the top 5%, 21.7%. They
don't publish decile info, but around 38-40% isn't an ureasonable
guess. Sounds like Argentina is very concentrated

been the most equally disributed country in the region historically;
this approaches Brazilian levels and seems pretty significant to me

Tom Walker has a good point. I wouldn't say that modern folks are exactly
like peasants, but there is some similarity.
Captalism is best able to reproduce itself over time when society is
atomized, when people have little direct connection with each other through
