the concentration of wealth in the United States during 2013 and the concept of new feudalism through the implementation of regulations that affect the poor sector but benefit the wealth sector.

The inequality in income distribution leads to disagreement between people within a society. Krugman explains that income inequality has damaged the social and economic growth. He claims that “Income inequality inevitably brings vast social inequality” (Krugman 563), in which low income families cannot afford health care: “they are more likely to have health problems that derail their life chances” (567). Health outcomes seem to be related to the income distribution, in which people with high…

Americans always want to pay low taxes, especially the rich who make millions or even billions and complain about how it 's hurting their businesses. However in reality taxes on the rich are among the lowest they have ever been. America has seen a steady tax decline on wealthy Americans since the Reagan administration while wages for the middle class have barely increased after adjusting for inflation. All while the rich claim that decreased taxes on the rich will lead to a better economy but…

strong understanding of wealth and what made a person wealthy. It had nothing to do with the amount of money you had or income but more to do with the amount of assets you owned. I knew that I wasn’t a wealthy person because I could see that my family and friends didn’t have as much assets as the people we saw on television, whether they were movie stars, professional athletes, or Wall Street businessmen. I always felt that there was something wrong with the distribution of wealth in the United…

Capitalism is seen in economies all around the world, viewed as a system to control wealth. However, many believe that capitalism favors the wealthy and exploits the poor. Revolutionaries argue that those in poverty are forced to their indigence by their own exploitation. In The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, a novel by Carson McCullers, the town the characters inhabit is plagued by poverty and socioeconomic discrimination. Jake Blount is disturbed by how the wealthy are capable of treating the poor…

Jurisprudence; Morals and law; Wealth distribution *UCL Juris. Rev. 241 ‘Economic analysis’ is an unfortunate term for a theory that explains how humans should, and on the whole do, make rational choices in a world of limited resources. Economics is concerned with material wealth, transactions of property, and is regarded as amoral. To many, economics and the economic approach to law are just the mechanics of a utilitarian state, concerned with maximising wealth whilst disregarding such moral…

few have so much while so many have so little” (@SenSanders). In other words, Bernie Sander is talking about wealth inequality. Wealth Inequality, as Yonatan Berman, Eshel Ben-Jacob, and Yoash Shapira has stated in their article as “one of the most disturbing social and economic issues of our time” (Berman para 1), can be defined as the unfair distribution of assets within a population. Wealth Inequality is one the biggest problems in the world. Especially in today’s society, where the rich are…

The 1920s were a time of extreme inequality in wealth distribution as a select few achieved the American Dream, with great wealth, while the majority of people maintained working class status, suffering from wealth control in the top one percent. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s, The Great Gatsby gives insight into the lives of the select few, as it follows wealthy characters from lavish parties to expensive restaurants in New York City; the wealth and frivolity of the 1920s upper class fills the novel. In…

Economic inequality in the United States has steadily increased throughout the past decades and has consequently led to many social conditions that negatively impact the lower and middle class. The unequal distribution of income and wealth is primarily due to the capitalist government economy as well as globalization and technological advances. Political inequality is similarly another consequence that results from the economic disparity that further affects democracy and political…

of social equality. There is a paradox saying that “US is the richest nation in the world, but has the most unequal distribution of wealth among industrialized nations” (Kelsey, Lecture. Sep 20). This kind of unequal distribution also reflects in the educational system which was influenced by social policy, unequal conditions among the communities, and unfair distribution of wealth. In this paper, I will explore the relationship between social inequality and our educational system. I will argue…
