However I wnated to highlight two interesting articles on a good economics blog by same author. http://fistfulofeuros.net/afoe/culture/questions-i-get-asked-about-equality/ http://fistfulofeuros.net/afoe/governments-and-parties/the-new-tory-party-desert-for-everybody/ 2 comments - 1) the use of the phrase 'big ask' i found infuriating (why dont people just keep the 'T'... big TASK...) and 2) the tories blatant use of reducing inequality between MIDDLE and LOW i found repulsive. Both are worth reading. I am only halfway through book so dont want to give my own opinion just yet. However I wnated to highlight two interesting articles on a good economics blog by same author.
