L'Angleterre du XVIIe, plus égalitaire que les Etats-Unis actuels | Graphique et choc
Nous conclurons sur une note historique cette analyse des revenus américains : le graphique suivant montre la distribution des revenus aux Etats-Unis en 2007 et en Angleterre au XVIIe siècle (grâce au remarquable travail de Peter Mathias qui a analysé les revenus de l’ensemble des classes de la population). Comparaison de la distribution des revenus par déciles aux Etats-Unis en 2007 et en Angleterre aux XVIIe siècle. Le résultat est édifiant : les inégalités sont nettement plus accentuées aux Etats-Unis actuellement que dans l’Angleterre du XVIIe siècle ! Les 150 000 très gros salaires actuels accaparent donc trois à six fois plus de revenus que ne le faisaient les 186 lords (Top 0,01 %) et les 1 400 baronets et chevaliers de l’aristocratie anglaise du XVIIe siècle... ► Cette note est un extrait de « Les inégalités de revenus aux Etats-Unis » sur Les-Crises.fr, blog d’Olivier Berruyer.

Breakthrough Study Reveals Biological Basis for Sensory Processing Disorders in Kids
Sensory processing disorders (SPD) are more prevalent in children than autism and as common as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, yet the condition receives far less attention partly because it’s never been recognized as a distinct disease. Pratik Mukherjee, MD, PhD In a groundbreaking new study from UC San Francisco, researchers have found that children affected with SPD have quantifiable differences in brain structure, for the first time showing a biological basis for the disease that sets it apart from other neurodevelopmental disorders. One of the reasons SPD has been overlooked until now is that it often occurs in children who also have ADHD or autism, and the disorders have not been listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual used by psychiatrists and psychologists. “Until now, SPD hasn’t had a known biological underpinning,” said senior author Pratik Mukherjee, MD, PhD, a professor of radiology and biomedical imaging and bioengineering at UCSF. ‘Out of Sync’ Kids
The Reproduction of Privilege
Instead of serving as a springboard to social mobility as it did for the first decades after World War II, college education today is reinforcing class stratification, with a huge majority of the 24 percent of Americans aged 25 to 29 currently holding a bachelor’s degree coming from families with earnings above the median income. Seventy-four percent of those now attending colleges that are classified as “most competitive,” a group that includes schools like Harvard, Emory, Stanford and Notre Dame, come from families with earnings in the top income quartile, while only three percent come from families in the bottom quartile. Anthony Carnevale, director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce and co-author of “How Increasing College Access Is Increasing Inequality, and What to Do about It,” puts it succinctly: “The education system is an increasingly powerful mechanism for the intergenerational reproduction of privilege.” — Anthony Carnevale Source: College Board

Alzheimer's can be prevented if you know the 7 causes
Could Alzheimer’s disease rob you of a healthy and peaceful retirement — or worse, send you to a nursing home to live out what should have been your “golden years”? Odds are you could be at an increased risk for this fate. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, one in eight older Americans suffers from Alzheimer’s, now the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. And unfortunately, brain diseases that used to be seen in the elderly are now showing up in 50-year-olds — and sometimes as early as the 30s and 40s. What’s worse, doctors often erroneously dismiss the early stages of Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and other brain disorders as “normal aging.” Renowned former neurosurgeon turned nutritionist Dr. And in a unique FREE video documentary presentation showcasing Dr. You’ll also discover: • Simple strategies to prevent, treat, and reverse memory loss, Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s, and other neurodegenerative disorders… • And much more… Dr. © 2014 NewsmaxHealth.
