Delighted to give my first "foreign" talk on "Visions of Inequality" in Mexico City.
Fue un placer tener a @BrankoMilan presentando su nuevo libro en #SobreMéxico 🤓🤓 Pronto el video de la presentación

The 1848 Revolution is possibly one of the most interesting episodes for class/social analysis. It is not surprising that in the Cagé-Piketty book it gets much analyzed, incl. Tocqueville's and Marx's writings on it.

A great paper by @theErforce on historical inequalities in Germany and Italy. With social tables for Bavaria 1847 (just before the 1848 revolution) and Prussia 1863.

Great paper by @theErforce with first-ever detailed social tables (inequality estimates) for Bavaria 1847 (based on 18 social groups) and Prussia 1863 (66 social groups).
Inequality Extraction ratios (IERs) in Italy before and after Unification. IERs are a great way to assess
'rapaciousness' of the elite (quote @BrankoMilan) See this and more IERs in my paper on Germany and Italy following unification in the 19th century: osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/2f…

There are very few poor people (by global standards) living in rich countries. Only 1% of rich countries' populations are very poor, and ~7% are poor.
And there are almost no rich people living in poor countries.

Finished reading @theErforce paper about inequality and the unification of Italy and Germany over the 19th C. stonecenter.gc.cuny.edu/rese… Great paper. The importance of the Federalist vs Centralist design in their nation building as a distributive force is such a nice contribution.
