Are the rich getting richer and the
poor getting poorer? The author brings a variety of articles that discuss the concept of
inequality and how serious it really is. One article
shows how
income and
wealth are not the same thing, another shows how rich and poor groups keep on changing, yet another discusses whether inequality is actually a problem, and finally an article defining the
poverty gap as both income and asset poverty. There are differing views on what inequality consists of and what is problematic or just a product of the natural economy. The author concludes with these unresolved arguments and shows how complex the situation is.
