Reading the book, its clear that he recognizes that, as he says, over a long period of time, the main force in favor of greater equality has been the d diffusion of skills and knowledge. After all, countries like india and brazil had increasingly high tax rates in the 1970s and 1980s without sharing broad growth. An increasingly skilled work force managed to achieve both growth and relative equity.

Agriculture sector. They say that 40 of his food and drugs come from europe and he is really hurting the russian people. Yeah, thats right. I mean, its tragic in my view.
