Managerial class, Pareto and Marx

On homoploutia and national market liberalism.

Branko Milanovic, Research Professor at City University of New York, talks to Phil and Alex about his most recent book, The Great Global Transformation: National Market Liberalism in a Multipolar World.

• What unites the political trajectories of Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump?

• How is global inequality, growth and political conflict evolving in the aftermath of globalisation?

• How are hierarchies of global income shifting as the world rebalances towards East Asia?

• What kind of political theories can we use to model the emergence of this new multipolar world – Adam Smith, Lenin, Luxembourg or John Rawls?

• And what is Homoploutia?
