Chic Savages
John Fairchild, Author Simon & Schuster $19.45 (0p) ISBN 978-0-671-68334-4
At age 66, Women's Wear Daily and W publisher Fairchild presents memories of his life among the ``chic savages'' who spend inordinate sums on fashion. He writes about the careers and personalities of French, Italian, American and Japanese designers as well as their customers: among them Ivana Trump, who travels by private jet to Paris for clothes; Nancy Reagan, who vowed to buy apparel made only in the U.S.A., then went on a shopping spree at Givenchy. This intriguing and amusing book contains plenty of gossip but the underlying economic facts are sobering. As a guest at a dinner in Tokyo, which cost his host $500 per person, Fairchild ponders the observation of former ambassador Mike Mansfield that Japan is ready for international ascendancy and concludes that the country now has the power and the money to dominate the marketplace with the logo ``Made in Japan.'' Illustrated. First serial to New York and New Woman. (Dec.)

Saint November 11 : St. Martin of Tours the Patron of the Poor, Alcoholics, Beggars and Wine makers
BISHOP, CONFESSOR
316, Savaria, Hungary
November 8, 397, Candes, France
Patron of:
gainst poverty; against alcoholism; beggars; Beli Manastir; Buenos Aires; Burgenland; cavalry; Dieburg; Edingen equestrians; Foiano della Chiana; France; geese; horses; hotel-keepers; innkeepers; Kortrijk; diocese of Mainz; Olpe; Pietrasanta; Pontifical Swiss Guards; quartermasters; reformed alcoholics; riders; diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart; soldiers; tailors; Utrecht; vintners; Virje; wine growers; wine makers; Wissmannsdorf
Today, November 11, we celebrate the feast day of Saint Martin of Tours (also known as "Martin the Merciful" and the "Glory of Gaul," 316-397), bishop, and theologian. Saint Martin saw himself as a member of the "Army of God," not the army of man. Zealous in his love for the Lord, he served (sometimes reluctantly, but ever obediently) those in need, and those who sought him out, for his eight-one years on the earth. Remembered for his great charity, Saint Martin inspires us still today to help those in need, as Christ would have helped them.
Martin was born to pagan parents in Sabaria (modern-day Hungary). The family soon moved to Italy, where Martin discovered Christianity and entered himself into the catechumenate at age 10. Of course, his parents were greatly opposed to his conversion, and attempted to dissuade him, but by age 12, his love for the Lord was so strong, he wished to live as a hermit and devote himself completely to prayer and contemplation. His father, an officer in the Roman army, conscripted Martin against his will into the army when he was just 15, in accordance with a Roman law forcing the sons of veterans to enlist. Martin, convinced that his belief in Christ was in direct opposition to military service, refused to present when required, and was taken by force, in chains, to make his oath. Out of obedience, once his oath was administered, he felt bound to obey. Due to his reluctance to fight, he was assigned to a ceremonial duty, designed to accompany the emperor, and rarely saw combat. Martin became a member of the Roman army prior to his baptism, as preparation for baptism at that time took several years. However, by his active duty, he was basically living the life of a monk, rather than a soldier, much to the irritation of his fellow soldiers and officers in the legion. He was promoted to officer, and because of this was entitled to a servant. However, he insisted on switching roles with his servant, cleaning the servant's boots instead of the other way around!
The event that is most often cited as changing the life of Martin occurred one cold day in France, where Martin had been stationed on garrison duty. As he was making his patrol, he noticed a nearly naked beggar, freezing, and ignored by those whom he implored for help. Martin did not have a penny to give him, but he remembered the text of the Gospel: "I was naked, and you clothed Me."
"My friend," he said, "I have nothing but my weapons and my garments."
And taking up his sword, he divided his cloak into two parts and gave one to the beggar. slicing the heavy and luxurious fabric with his sword. That night, Martin received the Lord in a dream. Jesus appeared to him, wrapped in the cloak Martin had given away, and said to him, "Martin, yet a catechumen, has covered me with this garment." Following his dream, Martin proceeded with haste to be baptized, officially entering the Church at age 18. Martin's military career proceeded without incident for several years, and at age 20, after five years of service, he was summoned before Caesar to receive a gift of money reserved for soldiers of outstanding service. Martin refused the gift, saying to Caesar, "I have served you as a soldier. Let me now serve Christ. Give the bounty to these others who are going to fight, but I am a soldier of Christ and it is not lawful for me to fight." The emperor, of course, was irritated by this lack of gratitude and respect, and accused Martin of cowardice. For his part, Martin replied that he was willing to go into battle unarmed and stand between the opposing parties in the name of Christ. He was immediately thrown into prison for refusing to fight, but received his discharge soon after, as truce was declared and the war was over. Upon discharge, Martin was drawn again to life as a hermit, wishing to lead a quiet life of prayer and contemplation. Saint Hilary recognized in Martin a man of extraordinary virtue, and took him as a disciple, repeatedly attempting to ordain him as a deacon. Martin, however, continually refused ordination, preferring to live a solitary life on some land given to him in Liguge. There, he was joined by other hermits, and together, they founded the first monastic community in Gaul. Saint Martin codified the model of monastic lives of the hermits—models used by other saints since that time. He performed miracles and exorcisms, and confronted demons not with threats, but through subduing them by prayer. On a trip over the Alps to visit his parents, Saint Martin was attacked by robbers who not only wanted to steal what he owned but threatened to take his life. Calm and unperturbed, the saintly man spoke to the robbers about God. One was so impressed he converted and became a law-abiding citizen. But Martin was to find even more trouble in his own home town. Though his mother converted to Christianity, his father stubbornly refused. When Martin began to denounce publicly the Arian heretics that were then in power throughout the empire -- even within the Church at that time -- he was whipped and driven out of his own hometown! When the second bishop of Tours died, the congregation there, knowing of Martin's piety, demanded that he take his place. He refused, but was taken by force by a mob of townspeople to the church, where the bishops had gathered to consecrate him. Dirty, ragged, and disheveled, the bishops were appalled, and refused to consecrate him, thinking him unworthy of such an important office. However, the people demanded his consecration, stating that they didn't chose him based upon his outward appearance, but because of his holiness, poverty, charity, and grace. Their minds changed by the acclamations of the people, Martin was consecrated the third bishop of Tours. As a bishop, Saint Martin continued to live his austere life, taking up a modest cell near the church, but soon retreating to an isolated place which would eventually become the famed monastic abbey at Marmoutiers. There, he was joined by eighty monks, living in wooden cells or caves in a nearby cliff. The monks spent their days in prayer and writing, rather than art or business as was the custom in the day. Martin personally instructed each of them, leading them in the faith, and creating an army of God. Many of the monks went on to hold important positions in the Church, having been firmly grounded in doctrine and faith by Saint Martin. Saint Martin became a model bishop, traveling from house to house through his mainly rural community and preaching to individuals and families (rather than limiting his efforts to the cities, or expecting rural Christians to travel into town for Mass). Once converted, he organized these rural communities under the direction of a priest or monk, and would visit each of his communities throughout his diocese at least once per year. He traveled on foot, or by donkey, exchanging the fine robes of a bishop for the simple cloak of a pilgrim monk. This system of rural communities became the model for modern-day rural dioceses, and his practice of visiting every community each year is still practiced by bishops today. Saint Martin was also a champion of social justice, and insisted on the freedom of prisoners who were mistreated, wrongly accused, or held for periods of time that did not befit their crimes. Many leaders began refusing to see him, knowing he would request freedom for prisoners, and they would feel obliged to acquiesce. One day a general named Avitianus arrived at Tours with ranks of prisoners he intended to torture and execute the next day. As soon as Martin heard of this cruel plan, he left his monastery for the city. Although he arrived well after midnight, he went straight to the house where the general was staying and threw himself on the threshold crying out in a loud voice. Avitianus was awakened by an angel who told him Martin was outside. Avitianus went to the door and told Martin, "Don't even say a word. I know what your request is. Every prisoner shall be spared." Martin served the Lord until his eighty-first year. As death approached, his followers begged him not to leave them. He prayed, "Lord, if your people still need me, I do not refuse the work. Your will be done." When about to die: He saw the devil standing near and cried out, 'Blood stained beast, what are you doing here? You will find nothing of yours in me, you living death. I go to the arms of Abraham.' These were his last words. Then he surrendered his soul to God. From a letter by Sulpicius Severus, his hagiographer: "Martin knew long in advance the time of his death and he told his brethren that it was near. Meanwhile, he found himself obliged to make a visitation of the parish of Candes. The clergy of that church were quarreling, and he wished to reconcile them. Although he knew that his days on earth were few, he did not refuse to undertake the journey for such a purpose, for he believed that he would bring his virtuous life to a good end if by his efforts peace was restored in the church. He spent some time in Candes, or rather in its church, where he stayed. Peace was restored, and he was planning to return to his monastery when suddenly he began to lose his strength. He summoned his brethren and told them he was dying. All who heard this were overcome with grief. In their sorrow they cried to him with one voice: "Father, why are you deserting us? Who will care for us when you are gone? Savage wolves will attack your flock, and who will save us from their bite when our shepherd is struck down? We know you long to be with Christ, but your reward is certain and will not be any less for being delayed. You will do better to show pity for us, rather than forsake us."
Thereupon he broke into tears, for he was a man in whom the compassion of our Lord was continually revealed. Turning to our Lord, he made this reply to their pleading: "Lord, if your people still need me, I am ready for the task; your will be done."
Here was a man words cannot describe. Death could not defeat him nor toil dismay him. He was quite without a preference of his own; he neither feared to die nor refused to live. With eyes and hands always raised to heaven he never withdrew his unconquered spirit from prayer. It happened that some priests who had gathered at his bedside suggested that he should give his poor body some relief by lying on his other side. He answered: "Allow me, brothers, to look toward heaven rather than at the earth, so that my spirit may set on the right course when the time comes for me to go on my journey to the Lord." At his request, he was buried in the Cemetery of the Poor.
Saint Martin was prone to lengthy fasts, many of which were accompanied by ecstatic visions of the Lord. Today, beginning the day after his feast day, and continuing until Christmas, some Christian communities continue to practice "Saint Martin's Fast." During this fast, the penitents engage in acts of penance and charity, as well as limit their food intake (of particular loved items, for example). The Fast of Saint Martin is meant to prepare the penitent to celebrate the Solemnity of Christmas. The fast reminds the penitent of several truths:
1. Our lives must be centered on God, not on self.
2. Our self denial is a prayer of the body to Our Lord Who came as an Infant to teach us and to redeem us.
3. Martin's act of cutting his cloak in two was both penitential and loving. All penances, if they are to have any merit spiritually, must be done in love.
4. We must be willing to give up anything and everything which keeps us from full union with God.
5. As soldiers of Christ, our struggle is to be against evil, not against others. We are always to be peacemakers as Martin was.
Saint Martin, a member of the "Army of God," is also known as the patron saint of soldiers. On this, veterans day, we turn to him with a prayer of intercession for the protection of all those serving in armed forces around the world.
Prayer to Saint Martin of Tours for our soldiers
St. Martin, you were first a soldier like your father. Converted to the Church, you became a soldier of Christ, a priest and then a Bishop of Tours. Lover of the poor, and model for pagans and Christians alike, protect our soldiers at all times. Make them strong, just, and charitable, always aiming at establishing peace on earth. Amen.
Prayer to Continue to Fight for God (written by Saint Martin of Tours)
Lord, if your people still have need of my services, I will not avoid the toil. Your will be done. I have fought the good fight long enough. Yet if you bid me continue to hold the battle line in defense of your camp, I will never beg to be excused from failing strength. I will do the work you entrust to me. While you command, I will fight beneath your banner. Amen
Lord God of hosts, who clothed your servant Martin the soldier with the spirit of sacrifice, and set him as a bishop in your Church to be a defender of the catholic faith: Give us grace to follow in his holy steps, that at the last we may be found clothed with righteousness in the dwellings of peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Almighty God our Heavenly Father, guide the nations of the world into the way of justice and truth, and establish among them that peace which is the fruit of righteousness, that they may become the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

Pope Francis explains " It gives great consolation and hope to listen to this simple and clear word of Jesus about life beyond death..." Full Text
Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
Today's Gospel passage (see Lk 20: 27-38) offers us a wonderful teaching of Jesus on the resurrection of the dead. Jesus is approached by some Sadducees, who did not believe in the resurrection and therefore provoke him with an insidious question: of who will be wife, in the resurrection, a woman who has had seven successive husbands, all brothers among them, who one after the other are dead? Jesus does not fall into the trap and replies that the resurrected in the beyond "take neither wife nor husband: for they can no longer die, because they are equal to the angels and, since they are children of the resurrection, they are children of God" (vv. 35-36). This is how Jesus answers.
With this answer, Jesus first of all invites his interlocutors - and we too - to think that this earthly dimension in which we live now is not the only dimension, but there is another, no longer subject to death, in which we will fully manifest that we are children of God. It gives great consolation and hope to listen to this simple and clear word of Jesus about life beyond death; we need it so much especially in our time, so rich in knowledge of the universe but so poor in wisdom about eternal life.
This clear certainty of Jesus on the resurrection is based entirely on the fidelity of God, who is the God of life. In fact, behind the question of the Sadducees it hides a deeper one: not only of whom will the wife of seven husbands be wife, but of whom will her life be. It is a doubt that touches the man of all times and also us: after this earthly pilgrimage, what will become of our life? Will it belong to nothingness, to death?
Jesus replies that life belongs to God, who loves us and cares so much about us, to the point of linking his name to ours: he is "the God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob. God is not of the dead, but of the living; because everyone lives for him "(vv. 37-38). Life exists where there is bond, communion, brotherhood; and it is a life stronger than death when it is built on true relationships and bonds of fidelity. On the contrary, there is no life where one claims to belong only to oneself and to live as islands: in these attitudes death prevails. It is selfishness. If I live for myself, I am sowing death in my heart.
May the Virgin Mary help us to live every day in the perspective of what we affirm in the final part of the Creed: "I await the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come". Waiting for the beyond.
After the Angelus
yesterday in Granada, Spain, Blessed Maria Emilia Riquelme y Zayas, foundress of the Missionary Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament and of Mary Immaculate, was proclaimed. And today, in Braga, Portugal, the Thanksgiving Mass is celebrated for the equivalent canonization of St. Bartholomew Fernandes of the Martyrs. The new Blessed was exemplary in the fervor of Eucharistic adoration and generous in service to the most needy; while the new Saint was a great evangelizer and pastor of his people. A round of applause to both the Blessed!
I address a special thought to the dear people of South Sudan, which I will have to visit this year [next]. With the memory still alive of the spiritual retreat for the Authorities of the Country, held in the Vatican last April, I wish to renew my invitation to all the actors of the national political process to seek what unites and to overcome what it divides, in a spirit of true brotherhood. The South Sudanese people have suffered too much in recent years and await with great hope a better future, especially the definitive end of conflicts and lasting peace. I therefore urge those responsible to continue, without tiring, their commitment to an inclusive dialogue in the search for consensus for the good of the nation. I also express the hope that the international community will not neglect to accompany South Sudan on the path of national reconciliation. I invite you all to pray together for this country, for which I have a special affection. [Ave Maria]
I wish to entrust your prayers to the situation of the beloved Bolivia, close to my homeland. I call on all Bolivians, especially political and social actors, to wait with a constructive spirit, and without any prior condition, in a climate of peace and serenity, the results of the election review process, which is currently underway. In peace.
Today in Italy the National Thanksgiving Day is celebrated for the fruits of the earth and of work. I join the Bishops in recalling the strong link between bread and work, hoping for courageous employment policies that take into account dignity and solidarity and prevent the risks of corruption. That workers are not exploited, that there is work for everyone but real work, not slave labor.
I thank all of you who have come from Rome, Italy and many parts of the world. I greet the pilgrims from Haaren (Germany), from Darwin (Australia) and the students from Neuilly (France); as well as the faithful of the Diocese of Piacenza-Bobbio, those of Bianzè and Burano.
I wish you all a good Sunday. Please don't forget to pray for me. Thanks. Good lunch and goodbye!
Sunday Mass Online : Sunday, November 10, 2019 - #Eucharist - Readings + Video - 32nd Ord. Time - C
Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Lectionary: 156
Reading 1 - 2 MC 7:1-2, 9-14
It happened that seven brothers with their mother were arrested
and tortured with whips and scourges by the king,
to force them to eat pork in violation of God's law.
One of the brothers, speaking for the others, said:
"What do you expect to achieve by questioning us?
We are ready to die rather than transgress the laws of our ancestors."
At the point of death he said:
"You accursed fiend, you are depriving us of this present life,
but the King of the world will raise us up to live again forever.
It is for his laws that we are dying."
After him the third suffered their cruel sport.
He put out his tongue at once when told to do so,
and bravely held out his hands, as he spoke these noble words:
"It was from Heaven that I received these;
for the sake of his laws I disdain them;
from him I hope to receive them again."
Even the king and his attendants marveled at the young man's courage,
because he regarded his sufferings as nothing.
After he had died,
they tortured and maltreated the fourth brother in the same way.
When he was near death, he said,
"It is my choice to die at the hands of men
with the hope God gives of being raised up by him;
but for you, there will be no resurrection to life."
Responsorial PsalmPS 17:1, 5-6, 8, 15
R. (15b) Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full.
Hear, O LORD, a just suit;
attend to my outcry;
hearken to my prayer from lips without deceit.
R. Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full.
My steps have been steadfast in your paths,
my feet have not faltered.
I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;
incline your ear to me; hear my word.
Keep me as the apple of your eye,
But I in justice shall behold your face;
on waking I shall be content in your presence.
Reading 2 - 2 THES 2:16-3:5
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father,
who has loved us and given us everlasting encouragement
and good hope through his grace,
encourage your hearts and strengthen them in every good deed
and word.
Finally, brothers and sisters, pray for us,
so that the word of the Lord may speed forward and be glorified,
as it did among you,
and that we may be delivered from perverse and wicked people,
for not all have faith.
But the Lord is faithful;
he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
We are confident of you in the Lord that what we instruct you,
you are doing and will continue to do.
May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God
and to the endurance of Christ.
Alleluia RV 1:5A, 6B
Jesus Christ is the firstborn of the dead;
to him be glory and power, forever and ever.
Gospel LK 20:27-38
Some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection,
came forward and put this question to Jesus, saying,
"Teacher, Moses wrote for us,
If someone's brother dies leaving a wife but no child,
his brother must take the wife
and raise up descendants for his brother.
Now there were seven brothers;
the first married a woman but died childless.
Then the second and the third married her,
and likewise all the seven died childless.
Finally the woman also died.
Now at the resurrection whose wife will that woman be?
For all seven had been married to her."
Jesus said to them,
"The children of this age marry and remarry;
but those who are deemed worthy to attain to the coming age
and to the resurrection of the dead
neither marry nor are given in marriage.
They can no longer die,
for they are like angels;
and they are the children of God
because they are the ones who will rise.
That the dead will rise
even Moses made known in the passage about the bush,
when he called out 'Lord, '
the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
and he is not God of the dead, but of the living,
for to him all are alive."

Wealth distribution without redistribution
Ricardo Fernholz, Robert Fernholz 27 February 2012
What does the distribution of wealth look like in an economy in which all households have identical skills and patience, but there is no redistribution? This column argues that without some redistributive mechanism – either explicit in the form of government tax or fiscal policies, or implicit in the form of limited intergenerational transfers – the wealth in the economy tends to concentrate at the top.
A notable collection of recent research has described the significant concentration of income and wealth that exists in many countries of the world. According to Atkinson et al (2011) and Wolff (2012), the richest 1% of households in the United States hold more than 33% of total wealth and earn nearly 25% of total income, with similar numbers observed in other countries as well. Díaz-Giménez et al (2002) document that the Gini coefficients of the distributions of income and wealth in the United States are equal to 0.55 and 0.80, respectively, and Davies et al (2011) find similar Gini coefficients for wealth throughout the world.
The protests in Western countries suggest that it is not just academic economists who get this point.
The role of uninsurable risk
Macroeconomists have adopted a number of different approaches to account for the high degree of inequality (see Cagetti and DeNardi 2008 for a recent survey). One of the most recent focuses on the role of uninsurable investment risk and the multiplicative process of wealth accumulation (Benhabib et al 2011). This approach is motivated by the empirical findings of Case and Shiller (1989), Flavin and Yamashita (2002), and Moskowitz and Vissing-Jorgensen (2002). These authors show that households hold significant fractions of their total wealth in the form of principal residence ownership and private business equity, both of which are volatile sources of idiosyncratic investment risk that are not easily diversified away.
In new research (Fernholz and Fernholz 2012), we embrace the insights from this empirical literature and analyse an economy in which households that are identical with regard to patience and skill face uninsurable investment risk, and there is neither explicit redistribution in the form of government tax or fiscal policies nor implicit redistribution in the form of limited intergenerational transfers of wealth.
In this setting, we show that in the absence of redistributive mechanisms, the distribution of wealth is unstable and becomes increasingly concentrated over time until virtually all wealth is held by a single household.
It is important to emphasise that the households in our setup are identical in terms of their patience (preference for consumption today versus consumption tomorrow) and their skill (how much they earn from labour income and how well they are able to invest on average), so the playing field is as level as possible, and it is luck alone – in the form of high realised random investment returns – that generates this extreme divergence.
This result may seem counterintuitive. It relies on results from mathematical finance (Fernholz 2002) that show that at a given moment in time, the growth rate of the total wealth of an economy composed of many households is greater than the average growth rate of the wealth held by each of the individual households. Over the longer term, however, the total wealth of the economy cannot grow faster than the wealth held by every one of its component households. Therefore, over time, the spread of wealth across the households must continually decrease until eventually all the wealth in the economy concentrates with a single household, and in this manner the growth rate of the economy tends to the growth rate of that single household.
Wealth dynamics over time
It is useful to parameterise our model and simulate these dynamics. Our approach is simple enough that the behaviour of the economy and the distribution of wealth over time depend entirely on just one factor: the extent of households' exposure to uninsurable idiosyncratic investment risk. The higher this exposure, the faster the pace at which the economy's total wealth concentrates.
In Figure 1, we plot the shares of the economy's total wealth among one million households under the assumption that households' exposure to uninsurable investment risk, denoted by the parameter σ, corresponds to a 10% standard deviation in yearly investment returns, which is roughly consistent with empirical data. The share of total wealth held by the wealthiest 1% of households is represented by the solid black line, that held by the wealthiest 1%–5% by the dotted red line, and that held by the wealthiest 5%–10% by the dashed green line. Starting from a position in which all households hold the same amount of wealth, the economy gradually evolves so that within 500 years approximately half of the economy's total wealth is held by the wealthiest 1% of households, and after 1,000 years that share increases to nearly 80%. Within 300 years, the economy reaches a position that resembles the United States in 2001 – the wealthiest 1% of households hold 33% of total wealth, while the wealthiest 1–5% and 5–10% of households hold, respectively, 26% and 12% of total wealth.
Figure 1. Shares of wealth over time
Note: The shares of wealth held by the wealthiest 1% (solid black line), the wealthiest 1–5% (dotted red line), and the wealthiest 5–10% (dashed green line) (σ = 0.1).
In Figure 2, we vary households' exposure to uninsurable investment risk and plot the evolution of the Gini coefficient over time. The Figure includes the previous parameterisation in which there is a 10% standard deviation in yearly investment returns, and it also includes parameterisations corresponding to 5% (σ = 0.05, represented by the dotted red line) and 20% (σ = 0.2, represented by the dashed green line) standard deviations. The Figure clearly shows that as households' exposure to idiosyncratic investment risk increases, so does the pace at which the economy's wealth concentrates. Finally, in Figure 3 we plot the share of total wealth held by the single wealthiest household in the economy. Although it takes a long time, the Figure demonstrates that the economy's total wealth gradually but steadily concentrates at the top.

Figure 3. Total wealth held by the wealthiest household
Note: The share of total wealth held by the wealthiest single household, (σ = 0.2).
Redistribution and stability
Our analysis highlights the crucial role of redistributive mechanisms in an economy. Indeed, it is their presence alone that ensures the stability of the economy and prevents an outcome in which the distribution of wealth becomes increasingly skewed towards the top.
We interpret redistribution broadly, so that redistributive mechanisms include any process that proportionally affects wealthy households and poor households differently.
Redistributive mechanisms include explicit mechanisms such as government tax or fiscal policies that directly transfer income from wealthy to poor households as well as implicit mechanisms such as limited intergenerational transfers of wealth that reduce the total wealth held by wealthy households proportionally more than that of poor households. Although implicit redistributive mechanisms do not involve direct transfers of wealth from wealthy to poor households, their stabilising effect on the equilibrium distribution of wealth is the same.
Implications and questions
The main conclusion of our analysis is clear. In the absence of any redistribution, the distribution of wealth is unstable over time and becomes concentrated entirely at the top. This occurs despite the fact that all households have identical patience and skill. It is important to emphasise that the setup we analyse, in which there is absolutely no redistribution, is intended to describe a benchmark case rather than to capture the true state of the world. In reality, a number of potentially redistributive mechanisms, such as government tax and fiscal policies and intergenerational transfers, constantly affect the economy and influence the distribution of wealth. Recent work by Gabaix (2009) and Benhabib et al (2011) examines settings in which redistributive mechanisms of this kind are present, and these authors show that this results in stable and empirically realistic Pareto distributions for wealth. Our results complement this research and highlight the stabilising role of redistributive mechanisms in the economy.
There are a number of questions that our conclusions raise:
How significant are implicit redistributive mechanisms such as limited intergenerational transfers of wealth, and do they disproportionately affect wealthy households?
Given that the extreme divergence in our model is driven largely by uninsurable idiosyncratic investment risk, how can this risk best be addressed by policymakers?
Finally, several questions about the role of explicit redistributive mechanisms such as government tax and fiscal policies arise. Our research suggests a role for such policies as a force that counters the natural tendency of wealth to concentrate. So, the final question is:
How do the benefits from the potential stabilising effect of taxation compare with the well-known costs of taxation?

ARTIST REVIEW: FRANCESCA OCCHI
by Eleonora Milner July 12, 2015 0
Photo Courtesy: Francesca Occhi
Francesca Occhi (1988) is a young italian photographer, graduated in Cultural Heritage Photography at ISIA in Urbino.
Her Master's thesis, titled MEMENTO, that you can find in Rome at the lstituto Nazionale per la Grafica del Ministero dei Beni e delle Attività Culturali e del Turismo (Photographic section), is a photographic project about Second World War bunkers in the area of Ferrara, precisely from Lido Estensi to Mesola.
She is interested in documentary as well as in portrait photography. Elegance and clarity are just few words to describe her works. She has participated in relevant group exhibitions, like MIA fair in Milan, SI Fest in Savignano sul Rubicone, Bitume Photo fest in Lecce and Cantieri Sisf (Italian Society for Photographic Studies) in Ravenna. Her latest work has been realized during a workshop with Mustafa Sabbagh in collaboration with Maria Livia Brunelli's MLB home gallery in Spazio Grisù, the first creative factory in Ferrara, Emilia Romagna.
Francesca presents this work to us:
"In this project I used photography as a medium of a personal research. I chose the diptych format: a portrait of a woman and her feelings. In the first duo the main theme is the obligation, emphasized by the mask on woman's face and the crack on the wall. In this case imperfection (symbolized by the mask's tear and the crack) isn' t a mistake but becomes a way to escape or a new way to see things from another point of view. The crack on the wall demonstrates that something has happened here. Maybe a transformation.
Instead, the last duo represents the emancipation. The obligations are lost. The mask hung up. A new person is revealed to us" as Francesca said "New step, perhaps a new beginning" . Perhaps, we add , a new (R)evolution.

my thoughts wander willy-nilly along the rose-cloud paths of imagination. It's escapist, I know, but it is also pleasant and helps make the regular-world softer or more purposeful should I say. It is the shining gold-goal which glosses over and transfigures the present moment. Gad, I went on another flight there didn't I?


" When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees"
The original copy of the covenant/treaty was deposited in the tabernacle where the priests could access it and read it to the people (Deuteronomy 31:9:24-26). This was the standard protocol at this time in history (1400 BC) for a covenant (vassal treaty) like this.
The reason is given for having all the kings read their copy of the covenant. It is "so that he may learn to revere the Lord" and "follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees." By reading these Words of God the kings of Israel would "learn" and they would "follow." The reading and understanding of the Word of God always produces results such as daily "following" the Lord.

1. The 525 foot agora had a bronze inscription mentioning Augustus, Tiberius and the goddess Artemis.
2. In the prytaneion, or "town hall" three statues of Artemis were found.
4 . In Acts 19:31 some of Paul's friends who were "officials of the province, or Asiarchai, begged Paul not to enter the theater. The Asiarchai were political figures with wealth and power. These men were the most powerful men in Asia who were elected by the citizens from the wealthy aristocrats and were expected to personally finance public games and festivals. Strabo refers to them and inscriptions of Asiarch's have been found in over forty Asian cities.
From this information we see that the wealthy and powerful aristocrats tended to befriend and support Paul, while the superstitious labors revolted against him because they lost business when the sale of Artemis idols declined.

In the Wake of Charlie Hebdo: What is Free Expression and What is Not?
Ala Oueslati
Mankind has been able to learn, to progress and to advance not only in terms of technology and science, but also in terms of moral standards, principles and virtues. Surprisingly, what turned out to be more challenging is neither the complexity of science nor the sophistication of technology. What people are now struggling with most is living with different principles, beliefs and ideas, and this need that we call coexistence, is somehow related to the beliefs themselves that many people are eager to show and defend.
There has also been a significant improvement in protecting and promoting human rights. Nowadays, almost all the conflicts that the world is witnessing are related to human rights, and these conflicts are increasingly serious because many of us believe they need more rights to protect. Fundamentally, the reason why many people care so much about their beliefs and their ideologies is because they believe their lives would be more complicated and less valuable without them. Many people also think that their principles, their ideas and their beliefs are sources of hope, strength and optimism.
In many countries, young people have been included in the process of peace-building, human rights protection and democratization. Freedom of expression has always been a very delicate issue because it has to do with the beliefs and principles of many people in many ways. The most recent example is the attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris. This event proved that personal beliefs, theories, doctrines and ideologies can be very powerful and very significant in shaping people's personalities and behaviors. Moreover, these people can also use their ideologies to explain their actions and prove their right to do and say whatever they feel is right. The paradox here is when people explain their acts by honoring and respecting their belonging to a certain religious group or by believing in something sacred, which in this case contradicts with what they call freedom of expression, just because they choose what they believe in and they then choose to act on the name of what they believe in, creating clashes with those who have different ideas .
Because no beliefs, no principles and no ideas should grant malign and destructive sensations and actions, it is essential to keep working on the advancement of human rights by defending people's rights to express their ideas, practice their beliefs and disagree with others, just like we give ourselves the right to express our ideas and criticize others'. The Charlie Hebdo attack in France, the flogging of the Saudi journalist Raif Badawi, the Boko Haram massacre in Nigeria and many other tragedic events we have witnessed in the last few months are obvious proofs of the strong effect that beliefs have on people's actions. These people think that what they believe in is the most interesting doctrine that there is, and everybody should give them their attention, and that is why they tend to harm others and sometimes even take people's lives in the name of the beliefs that they shape, modify and sometimes even invent.
One might wonder what the solution for this confusion can be. People who defend their rights to free expression should also let others defend their rights and express their ideas and beliefs freely and peacefully. The solution does sound simple and clear, however, what rises here is the problem of selfishness, as many people tend to reject different opinions just because they cannot live in a heterogeneous society where individuals can embrace difference and use it to enrich their communities. This is again paradoxical because these people themselves ask for their rights to respect and to free speech, which means they are also asking for difference, for tolerance and for coexistence.

Stanley Osher is awarded the Gauss Prize for his influential contributions to several fields in applied mathematics, and for his far-ranging inventions that have changed our conception of physical, perceptual, and mathematical concepts, giving us new tools to apprehend the world.
Description in a few paragraphs:
Stanley Osher has made influential contributions in a broad variety of fields in applied mathematics. These include high resolution shock capturing methods for hyperbolic equations, level set methods, PDE based methods in computer vision and image processing, and optimization. His numerical analysis contributions, including the Engquist-Osher scheme, TVD schemes, entropy conditions, ENO and WENO schemes and numerical schemes for Hamilton-Jacobi type equations have revolutionized the field. His level set contribu- tions include new level set calculus, novel numerical techniques, fluids and materials modeling, variational approaches, high codimension motion analysis, geometric optics, and the computation of discontinuous so- lutions to Hamilton-Jacobi equations; level set methods have been extremely influential in computer vision, image processing, and computer graphics. In addition, such new methods have motivated some of the most fundamental studies in the theory of PDEs in recent years, completing the picture of applied mathematics inspiring pure mathematics.
Stanley Osher has unique mentoring qualities: he has influenced the education of generations of outstanding applied mathematicians, and thanks to his entrepreneurship he has successfully brought his mathematics to industry.
Trained as an applied mathematician and an applied mathematician all his life, Osher continues to surprise the mathematical and numerical community with the invention of simple and clever schemes and formulas.

Welcome to The Rabbit Room Podcast Network
By Pete Peterson • October 01, 2018
Believe it or not, the Rabbit Room Podcast aired its first episode a decade ago, way back in 2008. In those ten years, it's covered a LOT of territory, from sermons to movie reviews to cautionary tales about cassowaries. And while we've always loved the podcast, we've always felt it was a little unfocused, often trying to be too many things at once. At the same time, we've noticed around us a wealth of ideas just begging to grow into fully-realized podcasts of their own. So we're putting the Rabbit Room Podcast itself out to pasture, but this isn't a death, it's an evolution. Welcome to the Rabbit Room Podcast Network.
The Rabbit Room Podcast Network is an alliance of podcasts that share a common thread of conversations about art, music, story, community, faith, and their myriad intersections. We're launching with two all-new podcast series, and we've got plenty more in the works.
First up is The Second Muse: How Songs Become Songs. The title is taken from this quote by Wendell Berry: "There are, it seems, two muses: the Muse of Inspiration, who gives us inarticulate visions and desires, and the Muse of Realization, who returns again and again to say 'It is yet more difficult than you thought.'" In each episode, host Drew Miller talks with songwriters and producers to explore the process of taking a song from inception to final product. In the first episode (available now), Drew talks with Andrew Peterson and Ben Shive about the development of the song "Maybe Next Year" from Resurrection Letters, Vol. 1.
After nine years of Hutchmoot speakers and sessions, we've decided to open up the archives with The Hutchmoot Podcast. Episodes feature recorded sessions from years past and give everyone a peek into the treasures of Hutchmoot. In the first episode (available now), Russ Ramsey takes us on a journey through the work of Vincent Van Gogh and the struggles he faced as an artist.
And coming soon, we've got other series like The Artist's Creed, The Resistance, The Membership, and more.
Don't worry, the original episodes of the Rabbit Room podcast are still available, now titled The Rabbit Room Podcast (Classic), and they'll remain in the archives.
Thanks for listening for the past 10 years. We're grateful. Now we're looking forward to the next chapter in the story, and we're eager for you to hear the new content we've got in the works. So put on your headphones. Turn up the volume. And enjoy the stories. There's a lot more to come.
Visit the Rabbit Room Podcast Network page for more information. Or subscribe via iTunes or Google Play or wherever you get your podcasts. If you're interested in being a sponsor of one of our podcasts, or of the network as a whole, email pete@rabbitroom.com. We'd love to talk with you.
Pete Peterson is the author of the Revolutionary War adventure The Fiddler's Gun and its sequel Fiddler's Green. Among the many strange things he's been in life are the following: U.S Marine air traffic controller, television editor, art teacher and boatwright at the Florida Sheriffs Boys Ranch, and progenitor of the mysterious Budge-Nuzzard. He lives in Nashville with his wife, Jennifer, where he's the Executive Director of the Rabbit Room and Managing Editor of Rabbit Room Press.

YEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!
Perusing the network page, and I want to listen to all of them. Also, the title for John & Pete's movie podcast is the best.

Will you be posting Hutchmoot podcasts at regular intervals (weekly, bi-weekly)? I'm really excited about this plan to release the sessions and loved the first podcast about Van Gogh.

With election season in full swing, political opinions are not hard to come by. If you are a federal employee, you may already know that there are limits on things you can say or do regarding your political opinions. Since 1939, the Hatch Act has set limits on non-elected government employees in this regard. Up until recently, the enforcement of the act was pretty straightforward, as digital online communication did not exist. However, with the advent of social media, it is possible for people to make their opinions known to a worldwide audience instantly with a few clicks of a mouse.

Hormonal Imbalances are quite common, particularly as we age, in both women and men. In women, the most common cause is menopause, while men, as they age, can experience lowered testosterone and other effects, sometimes referred to as "andropause." Other factors involved in causing hormonal imbalances are diets made up of processed foods and not nutritionally dense, lack of exercise, toxins that are hormone disruptors in foods, body products and even pollutants in the air, as well as stress and trauma. Hormone balancing also refers to making sure all endocrine glands such as the thyroid, adrenals, pituitary, are functioning optimally, as they all affect each other.
Naturopathic Physicians use a variety of testing methods and treatments to determine what is best for you.
Basic things to address are the diet, correcting nutrient deficiencies, optimizing metabolism, improving sleep quality, lowering stress and so on. Avoiding certain things like caffeine, and focusing on nutrient dense foods such as leafy greens in your diet can help with restoring hormone balance. Some use of phytoestrogens from food has been studied for their effect on reproductive hormone balancing. Other targeted methods used, when needed, are botanical medicine, nutrient supplementation, gentle cleanses to ensure proper metabolism of hormones, acupuncture and other holistic modalities.

It's up to us to work as a cohesive and collaborative support system for our children. That will mean holding ourselves and each other accountable to ensure that each student has been taught and has learned the required coursework for their grade level and is ready to advance to the next grade, without remediation, by the end of the school year.
We are expecting a lot from our children, but what, in turn, should our children expect from us?
As parents, students should expect us to be actively involved in their education. We must ensure the learning-readiness basics are mastered at home: sufficient sleep, on-time school arrival, safe after-school care and quality homework assistance, provided either by us or someone we find to help, such as a student in a higher grade, a college student, or a nonprofit organization, like 100 Black Men of America Inc., whose local chapters offer mentoring and tutorial programs.
Then we must move to an even higher level of engagement. For instance, we should communicate regularly with our child's teachers. Join the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) at our child's school. Attend school board meetings. Advocate for the needs of our children, their school, teachers and district. Educate ourselves about the best available education options in our communities, from traditional public schools to nonprofit charter schools.
If students do their part and we as parents do ours, then our children also should expect their teachers and administrators to provide instruction, experiential learning opportunities and school environments that breed and boost success. Our children should expect their teachers to demonstrate that they believe that all children can learn at high levels. When some children fail to make the grade, they should expect that their teachers and school staff won't let them flounder, but use proven intervention strategies to get them back on track. Our children should expect their teachers to be capable and well-trained professionals who teach in compelling and creative ways.
Our students should also expect the support of people in their communities, even those without school-aged children, because these students are destined to impact the community through their positive contributions or negative degradations. Visit a local school and ask how you can volunteer. Partner with a local school and offer your services or the expertise and resources of your company or organization. Serve on a local school council. Get involved as a tutor, mentor, guest speaker or member of a booster club. Stand with school boards and policy-makers to advocate publicly for high-performing schools and better teacher evaluations and student assessments. All are vital ways community members can support our students' overall success and make a difference in their lives.
We at 100 Black Men of America Inc. know that our children are more than capable of being academically successful. Let's provide access to educational opportunities that equip students to be competitive. Let's set high expectations for student achievement, remove obstacles to progress and provide proper interventions and support systems. We will demonstrate our unwavering belief in our students by working side by side with other concerned parents, teachers, administrators and community members throughout the school year. Let's put our children's needs before politics and make our nation's schools the best they can be, so all of our students can become the best they can be.
Brian L. Pauling is the national president and CEO of 100 Black Men of America Inc., which was founded in New York City in 1963. Today, the organization has more than 100 chapters in the United States, England and the Caribbean. Its dedicated members form an international network of mentors focused on creating educational opportunities, promoting economic empowerment, addressing health disparities, and creating positive, nurturing mentoring relationships that extend across a lifetime.

This post was written by UW-Madison Journalism student, Lisa Speckhard.
This year, the Go Big Read selection committee was looking for a book about inequality in America. They noted this was a pressing local issue, as could be seen in the Madison reactions to grand jury decisions in Ferguson, Missouri and New York, as well as the local shooting of Tony Robinson.
UW-Madison and the greater Madison area offered many ways to interact with the book. UW distributed over 5,000 copies to new students, used the book in over 170 class sections, assigned it as reading for all first year law students, held a faculty and staff panel discussion on the issues raised in the book, and is hosting a human rights conference at the Pyle Center next week. Later in November, Central Library will provide a life-size model of a solitary confinement cell for visitors to experience.
Students even interacted with the book artistically. Business students made posters inspired by the book.
It wasn't just students who were involved; the UW-Madison Police department also joined in.
Madison residents can listen to a chapter of the book everyday on Wisconsin Public Radio.
Madison Public Library facilitated discussion by distributing discussion kits.
And a community panel discussion, featuring the Middleton Police Chief and the CEO of Urban League, was held at Middleton Public Library.
At 7 p.m. Monday night, author Bryan Stevenson came to the UW-Madison campus to speak at Union South in Varsity Hall.
Students and people from the community formed a long line to hear him speak.
Before the talk, I asked audience members why they came.
Stevenson opened the talk with a vision for the future.
He then laid out four steps for arriving at that future.
During the event, some audience members used Twitter to state their agreement and enthusiasm.
The talk is available online for those with NetIDs.
Those interested in "Just Mercy" can continue listening to a chapter of the book a day on NPR, check out the Pyle Center's upcoming human rights conference, or step into a model solitary confinement cell at Madison Public Library.

Home Sport Isner enters Miami Open final
Isner enters Miami Open final
(File Photo: Pixabay)
Isner enters Miami Open final with an impressive 6-1, 7-6 (7-2) victory over Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro … reports Asian Lite News.
American John Isner advanced to the Miami Open final with an impressive 6-1, 7-6 (7-2) victory over Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro, who came into the game on a 15-match winning streak.
The stats told the story as the 17th-ranked American blasted 39 winners to just 10 for the sixth-ranked Del Potro, who was unable to consistently impose his lethal forehand or make any impression on his opponent's service games here on Friday, reports EFE news agency.
The 6-foot-10 (2.08-metre) Isner set the tone by blasting an ace past the 6-foot-6 Argentine on the first point and did not face a single break point th roughout the one-hour, 23-minute semi-final contest at this ATP World Tour 1000 hard-court event.
But much more surprising was his play on return, especially in the first set.
The American pounced on short balls and second serves to break Del Potro in his opening service game and then grab a 5-1 lead with a second break in the sixth game.
Isner's go-for-broke strategy worked to perfection in depriving Del Potro of any rhythm or chances to attack, with the Argentine only getting on the board in the first set because of his opponent's errors.
The second set was much more competitive thanks to Del Potro's 81 percent winning percentage on his first-serve points, up from just 44 percent in the first set.
He also improved his first-serve percentage – from 41 percent in the first set to 54 percent in the second – and showed much more emotion, including letting out a primal scream when saving a break point to go ahead 5-4 in the second set.
But Del Potro's intensity and the Miami's crowd's support for the Argentine player did not faze Isner, who continued to roll through his service games and cruised to an easy 7-2 win in the second-set tiebreaker to clinch the victory.
The Argentine, who had won hard-court titles in Acapulco, Mexico, and Indian Wells, California, in recent weeks and was playing his 16th match in slightly more than a month, appeared to pay the price on Friday for all of that time on court.
He also was fresh off one of his toughest wins of the streak, a 5-7, 7-6 (7-1), 7-6 (7-3) quarter-final victory over Canada's Milos Raonic that lasted almost three hours and ended just before midnight Wednesday.
Hot conditions at Crandon Park in Key Biscayne, Florida, also appeared to contribute to Del Potro's sluggishness.
But Isner showed how formidable he can be when he backs up his devastating serve with potent forehands and strong net play.
The American, who is 0-3 in finals at the Masters 1000 level, now is just one victory away from the biggest title of his career.

Missouri Man Guilty Of Sex Trafficking A Minor And Conspiracy
May 16, 2016 Press Federal and International
Springfield, IL-(ENEWSPF)- On May 13, 2016, Marcus Dewayne Thompson, a twenty-eight year old Park Hills, Missouri, man pled guilty in federal district court, in East St. Louis, Illinois, to one count of Conspiracy to Commit Sex Trafficking of a Minor and by Force, Fraud, or Coercion, and one count of Sex Trafficking of a Minor and by Force, Fraud, or Coercion, the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, James L. Porter, announced today. Thompson is scheduled for sentencing on September 29, 2016, before the Honorable Michael J. Reagan, at which time he faces a sentence of fifteen years to life in prison, not more than 5 years of supervised release after his prison term, a mandatory special assessment of $200, and restitution.
Court proceedings revealed that during a six week period in June and July 2015, Thompson orchestrated a venture with his wife, co-defendant Robin Thompson, which involved the recruitment, transportation, and advertisement of a minor female from Illinois for commercial sex acts in Florida, Georgia, and Louisiana.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.
The case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel T. Kapsak.

In my previous articles, I explained how you can check for associations between two continuous and two discrete variables. This time, we'll check for linear dependencies between continuous and discrete variables. You can do this by measuring the variance between the means of the continuous variable and different groups of the discrete variable. The null hypothesis here is that all variances between the means are a result of the variance within each group.

Need product reviews? Amazon may help
Fareeha Ali | Jul 18, 2017
Amazon's new service, Early Reviewer Rewards program, allows marketplace sellers to pay Amazon to find customers to write reviews.
Amazon.com Inc. is offering its marketplace sellers a new way to bump up the number of reviews of new products.
The online marketplace launched the Early Reviewer Rewards program in June, a service in which sellers pay Amazon to search for customers to write reviews of newly listed products on Amazon.com. Here's how it works: Once Amazon accepts a marketplace seller to the program, Amazon reaches out to customers who have already purchased the product to write a review in exchange for a small Amazon gift card ($1-$3, for example). Sellers have no influence over which customers write reviews or the content of the reviews. Only products with less than five reviews are eligible for this program. The program is available to U.S. sellers that are branded manufacturers.
Amazon declined to comment on how much this program costs sellers, however one Amazon seller, Chad Rubin, says he paid $60 per SKU for the Early Reviewer Program. Amazon does not promise a number of reviews, but it will look for reviews for up to a year, Rubin says based on his experience of using this service over the last several weeks. Rubin is also CEO and co-founder of Skubana, a company that provides e-commerce software and helps retailers and brands sell on Amazon.
"We're seeing Early Reviewer reviews come back in batches. We uploaded 14 products and received reviews back on four of them thus far," Rubin says. "We have now uploaded a couple hundred SKUs." Early Reviewer Program reviews are identified with an orange badge that reads "Early Reviewer Rewards."
The Early Reviewer Program is different from the Amazon Vine program, a service only available to brands that sell inventory directly to Amazon, who then sells the inventory on its own. Amazon Vine provides certain customers free samples of items Amazon sells. Amazon selects customers based on their reviewer ranking, "which is a reflection of the quality and helpfulness of their reviews as judged by other Amazon customers," according to Amazon, No. 1 in the 2017 Internet Retailer Top 500. Suppliers that sell items to Amazon on a wholesale basis pay Amazon a fee for the service and can't influence whether the rating is positive or negative, Amazon says. Customers aren't paid to write the review, and Amazon says it limits the number of Vine reviews on products. Vine reviews are identified with the green stripe that says "Vine Review of Free Product."
Amazon tells sellers to stop offering free products for reviews
Fareeha Ali | Oct 7, 2016
The Early Reviewer Program comes after Amazon last October cracked down on how sellers solicited product reviews. Some sellers used to offer discounted—sometimes even free—products to customers who agree to post a review of the product. Amazon allowed this practice so long as the reviewers disclosed within the reviews that they received the product in exchange for promising to write a review. That's no longer the case. Amazon now prohibits "offering compensation or requesting compensation (including free and discounted products) in exchange for creating, modifying or posting content," the retailer told sellers in October.
The ban came at a time when Amazon was taking heat for biased reviews on its site. Technology research company ReviewMeta last year analyzed 7 million Amazon reviews and concluded that 30% of those reviews were "incentivized," meaning the reviewer received the product for free or at a discount. The incentivized reviews, which totaled more than 2 million in ReviewMeta's dataset, had an average rating of 4.74 stars on Amazon. More than 5 million other reviews that weren't incentivized averaged a lower rating of 4.36 stars. The company says the 0.38 difference can determine whether a product is considered average or becomes a top-rated product because the average product on Amazon is rated about 4.4 stars, according to ReviewMeta.
Further breaking down its data, ReviewMeta says reviewers who are offered an incentive are 12 times less likely to give a 1-star rating than non-incentivized reviewers, and almost four times less likely to leave a critical review in general. What's more, incentivized reviews accounted for more than half of new reviews submitted to Amazon, based on ReviewMeta data.

Analysis of the 100 leading global online marketplaces. Includes over 30 charts, rankings of the world's Top 100 online marketplaces by 2021 GMV, tips for marketplace sellers, and breakout sections of niche and hybrid marketplaces.
With more than an estimated 350 million SKUs listed on Amazon.com, it's tough for Amazon sellers to launch new products on the site, especially with customer reliance on reviews. An Internet Retailer online survey May 2016 found that 52% of shoppers always look at ratings and reviews when shopping on online marketplaces and usually base purchase decisions on them. 42% said they sometimes look at ratings and reviews, and only 6% said they never look at reviews.
It's too early to know if this service will help sellers launch new products, but Rubin says the $60 price tag per SKU is low for how valuable reviews can be. Another seller on Amazon's seller forums agrees. This unnamed seller wrote, "If it's my product and I'm trying to add it to what I offer on Amazon, I think it's worth it. Those first reviews are HARD!"
