in englischer SpracheThomas Piketty showed in his book “Capital in the 21st Century” that our economic system supports wealth redistribution from the bottom to the top. However, such a divide within society has negative consequences on the overall economic development of a nation. Much potential remains unused. What and how do the rich contribute to societal wealth? Is there already too much redistribution? How does inequality affect welfare?
