Nice lecture. Pietra Rivoli has this great special approach to economics. The part about USED T-shirts is most interesting

Anyone who's interested in the societal effects of income inequality should read this book; The Spirit Level, why more equal societies almost always do better, by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, it's brilliant.
