Income Inequality: Is it the Real Issue?
The terms “income inequality” and “social mobility” have been used interchangeably as the primary cause of disparity and despair in society. But is income inequality the real culprit? Should we focus on social mobility as a leveller? Or is there a case to be made for reducing the income gap through a more aggressive redistribution of wealth?
