Sommario/riassunto |
|
Is Australia fair enough? And why does inequality matter anyway?In Battlers and Billionaires, Andrew Leigh weaves together vivid anecdotes, interesting history and powerful statistics to tell the story of inequality in this country. This is economics writing at its best. From egalitarian beginnings, Australian inequality rose through the nineteenth century. Then we became more equal again, with inequality falling markedly from the 1920's to the 1970's. Now, inequality is returning to the heights of the 1920's. Leigh shows that while inequality can fuel growth, it also poses dangers to society. |

Sommario/riassunto |

"In 1925, Elie Cartan introduced the principal of triality specifically for the Lie groups of type D4, and in 1935 Ruth Moufang initiated the study of Moufang loops. The observation of the title was made by Stephen Doro in 1978 who was in turn motivated by work of George Glauberman from 1968. Here we make the statement precise in a categorical context. In fact the most obvious categories of Moufang loops and groups with triality are not equivalent, hence the need for the word "essentially.""-- |
