AB In Spain, inequality evolution fits a Kuznets curve. World wars increasedinequality but had non-permanent effects. Progressive taxation had no impactuntil 1980. This picture is at odds with Atkinson, Piketty, Saez, and associates’depiction of western countries. Stolper-Samuelson forces only partially explaininequality trends. A substantial fall in absolute poverty resulted from growthbut also from inequality reduction in the Interwar and late 1950s. Risinginequality and extreme poverty were not at the roots of Spain’s Civil War. Inthe Golden Age, inequality contraction and absolute poverty eradicationrepresent a major departure from Latin America’s performance while matchesOECD’s.
