Paul Krugman | Economists and Inequality
Paul Krugman, The New York Times
Krugman writes: "I'm a few days late on this characteristically lucid Justin Fox column on why it took so long for economists to focus on income inequality.

Yee writes: "But after a year when Black Lives Matter protests spread across the country, and at the end of a season when the football team at the University of Missouri helped force the resignation of the school's top two administrators over how the campus handled race-related incidents, we need to stop ignoring the racial implications of the NCAA's hypocrisy."
