No urgent:
Theory: a set of propositions about causal relations between concepts
Concepts: building block of a theory

Syllogism:
X y: people in more socially cohesive group then you adhere more to norms against

Behavioral theory: human capital theory. (school gives knowledge and makes you more
productive).
, Transformation rules: progressive taxes
- (don’t just get better earnings and higher gdp together: actually make a theory).
Inequality: people can earn more but if there are a couple people earning a lot but
