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

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.
