It’s not left out, it’s just a different topic. We’ve gotta be able to discuss economic history without pulling in everyone’s political hobbyhorses.

Maybe I’m misreading you, but it doesn’t sound to me like you have any concrete disagreement with the parent comment. It sounds like you’re saying we just shouldn’t talk about the topic of poverty reduction because it will distract attention from your concern about wealth inequality.
