Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>The World Under Capitalism: Observations on Economics, Politics, History, and Culture</p><p>Branko Milanovic</p><p>John Wiley & Sons, 07/04/2025 - 400 páginas</p><p>"Branko Milanovic is best known as one of the world’s leading experts on global inequality. But he is also an unusually wide-ranging and penetrating commentator on subjects across economics and beyond, in politics, history, and culture. This book brings together his most searching, provocative, and entertaining articles of recent years, providing an abundance of vital insights into the evolution and dynamics of the world under capitalism.</p><p>The volume features important ideas about the struggle to achieve a more equal and prosperous world against not only the predictable forces of deregulation and distraction but new ideas about shrinking the economy to protect the environment. Further from Milanovic’s speciality, readers will find an extraordinary array of reflections on subjects including migration, globalization, the politics and economics of Russia and China, the crisis of liberal democracy, economic and literary history, and the intellectual giants of economics. The pieces are united by Milanovic’s distinctive voice – humane, wry, and realistic – and by remarkable erudition worn lightly whether the topic is the fall of Constantinople, Jane Austen, or the mores of contemporary soccer.</p><p>No one can fail to learn from the book, while the sparkling prose, unexpected observations, and sheer importance of the subjects at hand make it a compelling read from start to finish."</p><p><a href="https://books.google.pt/books?id=Q3tUEQAAQBAJ" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">books.google.pt/books?id=Q3tUE</span><span class="invisible">QAAQBAJ</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Economics</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PoliticalEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalEconomy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inequality</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/EconomicHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EconomicHistory</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Income from financial assets even among those 5-10% of the world population and 40% of Americans who receive it, is extraordinarily skewed toward the rich. Inequality of financial income is not like inequality of labor income. It is much higher. For example, labor income (before taxes) Gini in the United States is typically around 0.55; capital income Gini is above 0.9. The same is true for virtually every country in the world. Income from financial assets is like wealth: it is disproportionately received by the very top of the distribution. In the United States about 90% of all different financial instruments and assets are owned by only 10% of the richest Americans (see Ed Wolff, “A century of wealth in America”, Kuhn, Schularick and Steins, “Income and Wealth Inequality in America, 1949-2016”). Thus, saying that 40% of Americans have some income from financial assets is somewhat misleading because most of them have very little of it—and just a few receive the Gargantuan share. Which means that we should be even less worried if the stock market goes South.</p><p>So to summarize: there are several reasons for cheering up the decline in the stock market: it reduces wealth inequality by obliterating the wealth at the very top; it does not affect the incomes of most people (60% of Americans and 90-95% of the people in the world); and among those who are affected, it is la crème de la crème who lose the most and thus they are de facto taxed (a policy which otherwise is difficult to implement)."</p><p><a href="https://braveneweurope.com/branko-milanovic-the-stock-market-fetish" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">braveneweurope.com/branko-mila</span><span class="invisible">novic-the-stock-market-fetish</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Finance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Finance</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Financialization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Financialization</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/StockMarket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StockMarket</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inequality</span></a></p>
