So what is my overall conclusion from reading the book? Well I said when I started out writing these two posts that I avoided reading the book for a long time because I both (a) sympathised with the authors aims and broad policy recommendations and (b) suspected that the actual data and methods used would make me cringe and then rant. I think I was proven right in my (b) but I also think that exposure to the arguments of W&P has undermined my belief in (a) - not that I now think inequality is good but rather that maybe I was wrong about sympathising with W&P's aims, because I wonder whether they are really quite so similar to mine after all.
