Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>Typical "Socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor" scenario:</p><p>"Many Americans are pinching pennies, exhausted by high prices and stubborn inflation. The well-off are spending with abandon. <br>The top 10% of earners—households making about $250,000 a year or more—are splurging on everything from vacations to designer handbags, buoyed by big gains in stocks, real estate and other assets.</p><p>Those consumers now account for 49.7% of all spending, a record in data going back to 1989, according to an analysis by Moody’s Analytics. Three decades ago, they accounted for about 36%.</p><p>All this means that economic growth is unusually reliant on rich Americans continuing to shell out. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, estimated that spending by the top 10% alone accounted for almost one-third of gross domestic product. </p><p>Between September 2023 and September 2024, the high earners increased their spending by 12%. Spending by working-class and middle-class households, meanwhile, dropped over the same period. </p><p>“The finances of the well-to-do have never been better, their spending never stronger and the economy never more dependent on that group,” said Zandi, who oversaw the analysis, which was based on data from the Federal Reserve. The analysis runs through the third quarter of 2024 because that is the most recent data available. </p><p>Taken together, well-off people have increased their spending far beyond inflation, while everyone else hasn’t. The bottom 80% of earners spent 25% more than they did four years earlier, barely outpacing price increases of 21% over that period. The top 10% spent 58% more."</p><p><a href="https://www.wsj.com/economy/consumers/us-economy-strength-rich-spending-2c34a571" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wsj.com/economy/consumers/us-e</span><span class="invisible">conomy-strength-rich-spending-2c34a571</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inequality</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Poverty</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SocialMobility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMobility</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Plutocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Plutocracy</span></a></p>

Gary Hall<p>A future seems to be beckoning in the UK where an arts and humanities education will be available only to privileged people at a small number of so-called ‘top universities’. As it is, research just published by the Sutton Trust reveals that already ‘there are low proportions of students from lower socio-economic backgrounds on a range of creative degrees’.</p><p>Over half of the creative students at four such institutions – Oxford, Cambridge, King’s College London and Bath – are from upper-middle-class backgrounds. While Cambridge (4%), Oxford (5%), Bath (4%) and Bristol (5%) have the lowest percentages of students studying creative subjects who come from working-class backgrounds. </p><p><a href="https://www.suttontrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/A-Class-Act.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">suttontrust.com/wp-content/upl</span><span class="invisible">oads/2024/11/A-Class-Act.pdf</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/humanities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humanities</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/creative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>creative</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/class" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>class</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/classwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>classwar</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>universities</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/highered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>highered</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/socialmobility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>socialmobility</span></a></p>
