About Me
- Robert Paul Wolff
- As I observed in one of my books, in politics I am an anarchist, in religion I am an atheist, and in economics I am a Marxist. I am also, rather more importantly, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a violist.

I believe the subject of inequality, which RPW attempted to discuss a few days back until the discussion was derailed, is important, I'd like to point to this speech, by Nobel recipient Sir Angus Deaton
Today’s Inequalities Are Signs That Democratic Capitalism Is Under Threat
Posted on June 26, 2019 by Angus Deaton

Just a diversion. Which Cabinet Secretary this week sounded even dumber than Trump? Was it Ben Carson? Was it Betsy DeVos? Or was it Wilbur Ross? Consistent, as always, with Dr. Wolff's stated preferences, only scholarly responses welcome.
Leiter the list-lover is encouraging people who vote in this “Top 50 Thinkers” charade to write-in RPW, adding a Marxist to the mix. I have already done it! Let's all get on board! https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/features/prospect-worlds-top-50-thinkers-2019
I think this is known as crowdsourcing an outlier. Many thanks for the thought.
