In a commentary, SMU Adjunct Professor Dr Larry Haverkamp shared his views on the presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders, the Democrat candidate for the US Presidential elections. Highlighting the recent figures (produced by Sanders) showing that 99 per cent of new wealth was going to the top 1 per cent of income earners, Dr Haverkamp discussed the subject of income distribution and the different ways to make wealth more equal. He noted that while there is concern about widening income levels in Singapore, there is no clear solution as the focus remains on productivity and the state of the economy.
