Agree with @lsn interpretation. If everyone is poor, everyone is equal. But the authors do not say this. They say that there is a better starting position in Europe than in the US. In a way they make the point that redistributing wealth has limited impact/is less important than the level of inequality that exists at the start. While the result is the same, the impact one policies will be different (eg: fixed salary for all) @naomiii 2 authors are working at French universities & last one at World Bank/World Inequality Lab (“redistribution coordinator”). But also French. The French paid for it

that makes sense because if you have big enough inequality of outcomes it is impossible to have equality of starting points. I reckon the spectrum for that in Europe is smaller than in the US.
