Actual inequality and the inequality that people perceive can be wildly different, depending on people's social networks. This has big implications for public sentiment!

@SMamunuru et al. document this in Karnataka, India.

@chanelkmeyers Too real, too real!!!!

[Koenfucius 🔍 @koenfucius]

Does studying economics make you selfish? Study by @DanieleGirardi_ et al (admittedly a bunch of economists 😎) finds no discernible effect (whatever the course content) on self-interest or beliefs about others’ self-interest:
