Abstract:

Traditional Marxists believe that capital accumulation leads to income inequality and support for socialism, a perspective that was challenged by Revisionists. This column examines these competing claims using historical statistics and modern statistical techniques. The authors find that while capital accumulation intensified income inequality, it did not necessarily bolster support for socialism. Moreover, trade unions played a pivotal role in curbing income inequality. The findings highlight the role of historical, institutional, and technological factors in shaping capitalist trajectories, suggesting that a one-size-fits-all approach may be insufficient.

Quote:

What is more, the Revisionist strategy of strengthening the trade unions seems to have been a building block for the remarkable political success of the SPD before 1914.

Hmm, what happened after that?

It is trying to show that the path inflation/unemployment took this time is almost a mirror image of what happened between 73-76. Not that it could be worse, but that economists who have been demanding unemployment must increase to bring down inflation were wrong. (those economists were also wrong in the 70s too tho)
