The letter says: “We know that high inequality undermines all our social and environmental goals. It corrodes our politics, destroys trust, hamstrings our collective economic prosperity and weakens multilateralism. We also know that without a sharp reduction in inequality, the twin goals of ending poverty and preventing climate breakdown will be in clear conflict.”

    Pretty much any non-Marxist economists will favor “the market” over workers.

    Just going to point out that “the market” is people’s freedom of choice compounded across society.

    Neoliberalism, the predominant ideology in most western countries, is seen as an alternative to conservatism (very much so in the US), but they’re centrists at best, and conservative-lite at worst.

    It’s almost like political parties are tied to the values of their voters.
