For 3 years by now I am giving only written exams (pen & paper only) in class. Students do not complain & actually their handwriting and spelling are quite good. We have to move to such exams or to oral exams. This is more than obvious.

@Godivaciones Gracias.

[Blanca Sanchez-Alonso @bsalonso300]

@Godivaciones No puedo estar más de acuerdo.

@BrankoMilan I like "usted". It is a sign of respect.

Hace mucho que quería entrevistar a Milanovic. Sigo su trabajo desde hace años. La conversación no me defraudó y eso que hablamos poco de economía.

Remarkable (and consistent across time and countries) decrease in inequality in Latin America
(after-tax income per capita); @lisdata
Brazil from 62 in 1991 to 48 now (-14 Gini points)
Mexico from 55 in 1992 to 44 now (-11 Gini points)
Peru from 55 in 2005 to 44 now (-11 Gini points).

What I think the book offers is a double perspective. The rise of Asia, and China in particular, has its geopolitical component: clash between the current and the would-be hegemon etc. It is an issue of international relations.
But the rise of Asia can be also studied from the point of view of individual incomes. That's where global income inequality data become useful. It shows Chinese, Indian, Indonesian income groups overtaking in global income rankings some Western middle classes. It has produced the greatest reshuffling of global income positions since the Industrial Revolution.
