of the top income shares in the u k mankiw notes br blockquote the figure suggests that the explanation of growing inequality over the past several decades cannot be u s specific but must have broader

that since this is a global phenomenon that shifts in u s policy aren t driving the increase in inequality br br using the database i generated the following graphs 1 comparing the u s with other rich

example the share of the top 1 in france was 8 98 in 1950 and 8 94 in 2007 the corresponding numbers for the u s are 11 60 and 18 29 it takes a lot of motivated reasoning to detect an upward trend in

br blockquote might the rising share of the top 1 percent be related to the increasing use of english as a global language blockquote i m not exactly sure what this means or what the causal mechanism here would be i would suggest a simpler explanation english speaking countries have tended to follow an economic model often referred to as the a href http en wikipedia org wiki anglo saxon_economy anglo saxon model a that is more market driven and relies on a smaller welfare state than the rest of europe thus one should expect those countries to have higher levels of market income inequality further like the u s these countries have reformed their tax systems and de regulated much of their economy leading to even greater inequality so while it s true that increased inequality is not solely a u s phenomenon it does not follow that policy changes aren t an important part of the explanation in fact countries that have followed similar policies to the u s have seen increases in inequality while those that haven t well haven t br br i chose the years based on data availability i encourage people to play around with the database if they are curious about other countries years or variables br br it is also worth mentioning that the data presented here is pre tax gross income given that other countries have more progressive tax transfer systems than the u s this is likely an underestimate of the difference in inequality between the u s and the rest of the rich world span style font size 11pt font family arial background color transparent text decoration none vertical

essentially found that the heavyset set has gotten heavier but many of the 67 of americans that are not obese have stayed trim this is because the obese crowd relies on foods that can be eaten quickly rather than making meals from scratch br what struck me about these findings was how a culture so laden with cooking shows was not producing even more at home cooking perhaps we should abandon the ace

as a social worker friend of mine pointed out often extreme eating problems are related to emotional eating i think rather then pointing to low self esteem our culture s current food problems point to

individual in particular the 9 1 of americans that are unemployed the question to ask is what were you doing in the past that worked when you think about the good things you ve done it can focus your energy towards repeating those habits and outcomes there is something very powerful about putting a positive spin on your assessment of the past understanding what you have done well can help you make decisions on where you can add the most benefit yes top down change is going to be necessary to change the direction the us is headed but bottom up change and a need for individual innovation and reinvigoration is also going to be crucial to our recovery this isn t about glossing over what may have gone wrong but if you ve had success in the past chances are you can pinpoint what went right
