Let them eat cosmopolitanism.  But note: I never argue “…that egalitarianism as a political force in America is fundamentally opposed to globalisation.”  I do argue that egalitarians do not usually take a consistently global perspective when framing the recent history of inequality.  I also never argue “…redistribution must necessarily make the economy poorer than it otherwise would be.”  I do argue wealth maximization is a good starting point for thinking about how much redistribution we should do and furthermore that will be some positive amount.
