Ezra Klein — Krugman: soaring inequality isn’t about education; it’s about power


Krugman lays the ""p"-word on the table.
"All the big gains are going to a tiny group of individuals holding strategic positions in corporate suites or astride the crossroads of finance," writes Krugman. "Rising inequality isn’t about who has the knowledge; it’s about who has the power."

If the wealthy are hoarding too much, they need a bit of carrot and stick from government to spend. Tax their savings (capital gains) and exempt more of their income spent on consumption from taxes.
