More attention needs to be paid to the income and wealth distribution
consequences of globalisation

It's funny how the controversial gradually gets sucked into the
mainstream. You only have to think about the history of pop music to
recognise that the boundaries of acceptability gradually shift over
time.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was banned when it was first released,
yet no one today seems too bothered about John Lennon's homage to
hallucination. Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Relax was eventually banned
when Mike Read, a BBC Radio 1 DJ, read the lyrics and realised that
Frankie's idea of relaxation was more than just a nice cup of tea
followed by an afternoon nap. Today, though, Frankie offers no more
than a bit of 1980s nostalgia.
