Comment by Allison Schrager
Economist; Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute and Bloomberg Opinion columnist
If the economy grows from an AI productivity boom, more Americans will share in the benefits. [...] But just as the 21st-century economy has invented new ways to create wealth, it may also require new ways to redistribute it.AI Verified source (2026-05-13)

The Bradenton Herald URL opens the article “Allison Schrager: Trump accounts are a new way to redistribute wealth,” credited “By Allison Schrager Bloomberg Opinion/Tribune Content Agency.” It contains the quoted opening and closing sentences verbatim with omitted intervening text between them (lines 195–197), and the page says the story was originally published on May 13, 2026. The stored author, date, source URL, and quote are therefore correct. ([bradenton.com](https://www.bradenton.com/opinion/us-viewpoints/article315721156.html))

The Manhattan Institute URL is a teaser for a Bloomberg Opinion piece by Allison Schrager dated May 8, 2026, but it does not contain the quoted passage. A full syndicated copy at Advisor Perspectives contains both sentences and attributes the article to Allison Schrager, but in the source the sentence beginning 'If the economy grows from an AI productivity boom...' appears earlier, while the article ends with 'But just as the 21st-century economy has invented new ways to create wealth...'. Because the submitted quote reverses their order, it is not verbatim; the ellipsis does not make that reordering faithful.

Quote attributed to Allison Schrager (2026), from her Manhattan Institute / Bloomberg Opinion column "Trump Accounts Are a New Way to Redistribute Wealth." The source_url (manhattan.institute) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed both quoted segments verbatim — "Just as the 21st-century economy has invented new ways to create wealth, it may also require new ways to redistribute it" and "if the economy grows from an AI productivity boom, more Americans will share in the benefits." The column is widely syndicated (Bloomberg, Columbian, Decatur Daily, etc.), all attributing it to Schrager. Year 2026 is current. Vote "for" on "Introduce a universal basic wealth system that grants individuals a capital endowment at birth" aligns — Trump accounts grant a capital endowment to newborns and Schrager writes favorably of them as a redistribution mechanism. Verified.
