The 20th century income distribution system has broken down irreparably. Recall the post-1945 consensus under which the shares of income going to capital and to labour were roughly stable, when workers and corporations shared the gains from productivity growth, and when rental income was modest.

Increasingly however, this approach is gaining traction in the social sciences. This has in many ways been a breath of fresh air.
