We have a new Economic Inequality topic page— Public attention to economic inequality has grown a lot over the last twenty years.

Dot-and-line chart of monthly income or consumption at the 90th and 10th percentiles for selected countries, where it illustrates large gaps between the richest and poorest 10%. It shows the richest 10% in the United States at about $5,508 per person per month versus $789 for the poorest 10%, and smaller absolute amounts but clear gaps in Brazil (about $1,626 vs $161), Vietnam (about $875 vs $177) and Madagascar (about $156 vs $32).

At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/
