Political trust has a positive effect on democracy, but only in countries that have already achieved high quality of democracy journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Last night I could not sleep so I created a taxonomy of people who work on inequality/redistribution. For each of these groups I have names of economists but it could be too controversial. So I decided to stay with the taxonomy only. (You can fill in the names.)
