Presentation
This project combines theory and empirics to study the normative aspects of compositional equality - all individuals have the same shares of capital and labor in their total income. It argues that compositional equality is desirable for at least two reasons: it promotes fairness and supports an inclusive, profit-driven regime of accumulation and growth. This is particularly relevant in a context of AI-driven, technology-augmenting capital accumulation. Several policy considerations follow from this analysis.
