At work we are using Polymer / Web Components since version 0.5 and have been enjoying it's structured approach. I was skeptical at first to use html tags to add data models, AJAX requests and non-visual parts of a web app. After the initial shock though it does result in more declarative code and helps our codebase stay organized. Long term, the investment in web components makes sense as they become standard and native to most web browsers.

"So an unequal economy is less robust, productive, and stable than it otherwise would be."

Given this is true and Stiglitz is correct, the inverse may also be true: An economy that is less robust, less productive and less stable becomes more unequal. This would create a positive feedback loop, which may seem dismal. However if thats the case then strategies and actions that break the loop by improving robustness, productivity, and stability of the economies of individuals, groups and organizations may prove effective. Examples include skills training to become more robust, infrastructure investments to improve productivity, and orienting choices to improve stability could be implemented from the individual up to global scale. Simple redistribution may prove less effective.
