The Piketty-Atkinson Hypothesis
Description: The Piketty-Atkinson Hypothesis is a theory in economics that states that wealth inequality will increase over time in a capitalist economy. This is because the rate of return on capital is typically higher than the rate of economic growth, meaning that those who own capital will see their wealth grow faster than those who do not. | |
