Three questions for Angus Deaton, the chair of The Institute for Fiscal Studies’ wide-ranging review of inequalities in UK
Sir, I refer to Angus Deaton’s “Inequality in America offers lessons for Britain” May 15.
I have three questions for him:
Regulatory subsidized credit for the purchase of houses, which has helped morph houses from being homes into investment assets, how much increased inequality has that caused between those who own houses and those who do not?
The increased benefits for those who have jobs, how much increased inequality has that caused when compared to those without jobs?
The risk weighted capital requirements for banks, which very much favors the financing of the “safer” present over the riskier future, how much inequality is it producing between current and future generations?
