The podcast conversation of The Great Tech Game with Aniurdh Suri features Branco Milanovic, an expert on income inequality, discussing his work and global inequality trends. Milanovic's book, "Capitalism Alone," argues that capitalism is the only dominant economic system, with variations like liberal capitalism (US) and political capitalism (China). He also explores how socialist revolutions inadvertently paved the way for capitalism in some countries. His other book, "Visions of Inequality," looks at how influential economists have viewed inequality. Milanovic discusses how to measure inequality, noting that the Gini coefficient is a powerful tool. He explains that while inequality within most rich countries has increased, global inequality between people has decreased due to the rise of Asia. However, if Africa does not develop, this trend could reverse. Geopolitics and technology also play a role. The relationship between the US and China and the rise of Asia are reshaping the global landscape. New technologies, like AI, could increase inequality. India's influence is growing due to its non-aligned position and economic growth. In terms of policy, Milanovic notes that it is difficult to reduce inequality with government policy, though cash grant programs in Latin America are a potential example. Key takeaways: ● Capitalism is the dominant system globally, with different variations. ● While inequality within many countries is rising, global inequality has decreased. ● Geopolitics, technology, and Africa's development will play a role in future inequality trends. ● There's a disproportion between discussion and action on reducing inequality.
