Jonathan Rothwell - Principal Economist at Gallup - in a conversation with Alok Shukla to discuss some major findings of his book - "A Republic of Equals: A Manifesto for a Just Society"
PS:- This is a long interview format.
We discuss the surprising composition of 1% and how non-competitive sectors like medical professionals, dentists, lawyers etc have been able to corner a large portion of 1% economic prosperity.
Jonathan talks about meritocracy being the driver of reduction of inequality, problems of segregation - including Asian School segregation and why does a positive intent can also have negative consequences, when it castes away other communities.
We also touch upon Nassim Nicholas Tayeb observation on IQ tests being a pseudoscientific swindle and how data does not support the natural assertion of genetic superiority of any race.
