Particularly in times of economic crisis, the issue of income distribution is discussed again stronger. So by Robert Skidelsky, economist, former member of the British Labour Party, the Social Democrats and then the Conservatives, who speaks out in an essay on Project Syndicate committed to reducing incomes and apparently redistribute to low. His reasoning scans along a distinction between price and value for which he apparently sees an objective basis, and an unspecified structure a "fair income distribution." A redistribution of income is ultimately necessary to provide the consumer a broad base and to promote social cohesion. Skidelskys article is hard to criticize because he is above all a sense of description. How to measure a just distribution of income is, he can not say. The causes of rising wage differentials are not a secret and should also be known to him, some of them discussed in the literature points are: The relative decline in skilled jobs to marginal product of activities that can be met by unqualified or less qualified people. This is not the same as academic / non-academic, and some trades are classified as highly qualified, and much of what is now known academically, is not necessarily to be regarded as highly qualified. With the relative decline in productivity is widening either the wage structure or it increases when there is a lower barrier wage, unemployment in the unskilled sector. So closely interconnected that the modern economy is becoming more capital intensive. The corresponding flow pensions on the one hand to the working people who use this capital to produce, and of course the investors that would indeed be otherwise no incentive to provide the capital necessary. That's one of the reasons why the profit share increases in value added. Who has saved more capital and generates, which naturally flows to a higher pension capital. Since we luckily in developed countries for some time had no experience devastating war, could have long caused corresponding assets that generate income and high, thus increasing the statistical disparity. Modern technologies facilitate superstar effects, because in many areas that can process from the customers' most valued supplier and a virtually worldwide market lukrieren therefore a larger share of the revenue in this area. In the music industry, it is evident: while around 1920 music stars were nochh largely a local matter, the world's biggest stars can generate income and draw from it a considerable portion of the market. For the second row is thus less remaining. Now there is this effect not only in the entertainment industry, but also in other areas where it is easier than it used to identify the (self-view) Best, from sports to corporate management. Globalization has reduced global inequality, where millions of people were able to free themselves from poverty. This is achieved through an international division of labor, although the increases in net welfare of the more affluent countries, but not in those on all sections of the population has equal and thereby allowing it to grow the local inequality. The increasing migration flows to industrialized countries are also a way in which many people were able to increase their wealth. However, due to emigration, the rising inequality in the country, especially if the emigrant's family in their home country financial support, and also in the target country, mainly because the immigrants do less skilled work. But it is a good question whether the so-lamented "income inequality" in fact is a social problem. It is now much less than about 80 or 100 years ago, and it is largely justified by wertschöpfungsentziehende institutions, but the division of labor and seizing of market opportunities, see Acemoglu and Robinson. The issue of corruption of the democratic process is of course quite to ask, but not so easy to answer. Finally, modern democracy arose in situations highly unequal income distributions, and one has been stubbornly attach the Marxist theory of class consciousness, despite anything to the contrary to a uniform behavior and interest about the wealthy, etc. to accept. Clear example is the U.S., where just heard the Democrats greater support among the wealthiest Americans, not the Republicans, as one would expect after the political propaganda perhaps.
