Hunting Causes and Using Them Approaches in Philosophy and Economics

Look at what economists are saying. ‘Changes in the real GDP unidirectionally and significantly Granger cause changes in inequality.’1 Alternatively, ‘the evolution of growth and inequality must surely be the outcome of similar processes’ and ‘the policy maker . . . needs to balance the impact of...
