Era ironico, Xtol.....
Traggo da un tweet di zibordi che riprende un articolo di un premio nobel - in pratica riprende elementi che spesso Gano ha espresso, sul concetto di società elitarie, salvo poi tifare, misteriosamente, o forse perchè ritiene di essere immune dalla loro eventuale rivoluzione, per chi indossa gilet arancioni o vota brexit.
What’s Wrong with Contemporary Capitalism?
Behind today's populist upheavals is a widespread recognition that the economy no longer serves the public good, or even the interests of most of its participants
Rajan thus prescribes an “inclusive localism” to rebuild communities that can furnish people with self-respect, status, and meaning. --------
What of community? The United States once led the world in public education, providing local schools where children of all talents and economic backgrounds learned together. And when elementary education became insufficient, communities started providing access to secondary school for all.
Today, however, when a college degree is a prerequisite for success, the more talented kids pursue theirs far outside of the community, ultimately self-segregating in fast-growing cities from which the less talented are excluded by the high cost of living. Ensconced in their glittering cloisters, those who succeed form a meritocracy in which their kids – and almost exclusively their kids – do well.
Collier tells the same story for Britain, where talent and the share of national income have become increasingly concentrated in London, leaving gutted and angry communities behind. Yet as Janan Ganesh of the Financial Times points out, these metropolitan elites now find themselves “shackled to a corpse.”
