Jörg Neugschwender<p>Inspired by a recent article by <span class="h-card"><a href="https://econtwitter.net/@jburnmurdoch" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>jburnmurdoch</span></a></span> in the Financial Times, I have calculated some more numbers from the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Database & EU-SILC, looking at the long-term development of incomes and inequality across the income distribution, linking it to the argument of welfare state trajectories & path dependence.</p><p>The article is non-scientific, it seeks to inform the broader public. Potential errors are mine. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Inequality</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/WelfareStates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WelfareStates</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/LISdata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LISdata</span></a><br><a href="https://inequalityoldage.wordpress.com/the-roots-of-inequality-in-cross-national-perspective-a-welfare-state-based-explanation/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">inequalityoldage.wordpress.com</span><span class="invisible">/the-roots-of-inequality-in-cross-national-perspective-a-welfare-state-based-explanation/</span></a></p>
