I'm not convinced there is a trade-off between economic efficiency and inequality. If people who have a lot of money hoard it, resources getting concentrated could cause the economy to shut down. I used to be puzzled that victims of 419 scams could believe that 10 million dollars would fall from the sky, but what if these are people who already had 10 million dollars fall from the sky? It could be higher taxation could get money away from people who aren't in a position to put it to work for themselves or society.

    DXP = Deng Xiaoping. A Country Designer if we'd ever seen one?

    Anyways that's not the Question. The question is how to systematically promote such Cats from the masses [0-1] Apparently meritocracy (as metonymed by MBA, --but also VC?) is not It

    *@9rx next? So 4-way? That guy understands IP/NDA/noncompete laws are the spanner in the machinery of ("Fukuyaman") liberalism.

      Positive psychology is unique. Each variant of Nihilism (eg Liberalism, Moneyball) is seductive in its own way
    
    Eudaimonia and the Engineer System: I don't think it's about money- that's the Medium. Organizational Design is the Game of Games.. where hoarders are the Killers. Sen got it like Rawls didn't, just like Bartle got it where McLuhan didn't. Next thinker to beat is ofc Jacobs
