David Leonhardt article “Inequality Has Been Going on Forever” from The New York Times main claim is that inequality will keep going on. Leonhardt’s thesis statement in his introduction is “And inequality is likely to continue increasing for decades.... We could end up with a society in which the rich separate themselves from everyone else, perpetuating their wealth from one generation to the next.” However Leonhardt goes on to explain it doesn't always have to be this way. He believes we could change our economic system to better suit all citizens and create a more equal division of money between the wealth and the poor. He looks at other countries like Germany and proposes ideas to the reader to rethink their beliefs on how Economy works.
