BITS & BRIEFS: In defense of hierarchy // Piketty’s new findings // Turning point in think tanks’ history // When corporations led to equality // Marginalization of racial (in)justice

This time — especially worth reading (and sharing) articles:

> In defense of hierarchy: nowadays society has forgotten the benefits of hierarchy, expertise and excellence — by Prof. Stephen C. Angle 

> The very latest and striking findings from Piketty, Saez & co: (lack of) income growth  and  inequality in the US, China, France 1978-2015 

> Unlike the think tanks of today, in the 1930s foundations were studiously nonpartisan. This changed in the 1970s when the Chicago Boys’ moment came along with Pinochet’s coup in Chile — by Prof. Daniel Immerwahr

> The postwar era of corporate dominance corresponded to a period of remarkable economic growth, social mobility and relative income equality – by Prof. Jerry Davis

> Decolonization downplayed the impact of the racist past on the present configuration of wealth and opportunities — an interview with Prof. Charles Mills
