... yo no la veo. No entiendo por qué el consenso parece ser que Grecia no puede hacer un default unilateral y quedarse tan pancha dentro de la zona euro. Ecuador hizo su default en diciembre del 2008 y sigue usando el dólar estadounidense como moneda.
Más que un post esto es un tuit, y ni siquiera comparto gráfico. Cómo he perdido la costumbre. A ver si mañana consigo hacer el esfuerzo.

Sobre la distribución de la renta en USA
En respuesta al post de Megan McArdle: the share of income of the top 1% and 0.1% of the income distribution did bounce back in 2010.
Well, I shouldn't be that categorical about my answer. The data are taken from the source highlighted by Derek Thompson (where would one be without The Atlantic?) and refer only to wage income - hence the much lower shares of the total compared to the charts in Megan's post.
In any case, the top 1% of wage earners (roughly those earning $200,000 per annum or more) increased their share of the total wage pool to 14.9%, higher than at any other point in my series except 2007.

Funnily enough the recovery for those in the top 0.1% (a group that roughly coincides with those earning over $500,000 a year) was less dramatic - at only 6.5% of the total, their share was higher throughout 2006-08 and at the peak of the dot com boom in 2000.
