The findings on the cost of Brexit--a loss of 6-8% of GDP and it's not over--can be thought of as the cost of not redistributing in a way that ensures widespread benefits from growth. Instead of an equity-efficiency trade-off, equity might have helped foster more efficiency in this case.

‘Re-Vetting’ Hundreds of Thousands of Refugees Is an Overreaction
Days after President Donald Trump announced that more than 233,000 refugees would face fresh scrutiny over their legal status, an Afghan refugee was charged with shooting members of the National Guard near the White House, killing one and gravely wounding another.
