| Tutorial 100-26. Equality and Inequality | ||
|
|
Although at one time the American Dream was built around an ideal of social and economic equality, for some time now economic inequality has been growing in the United States. This tutorial will take up a series of questions related to this trend: How is inequality increasing? Why might it be increasing? Is inequality necessarily a bad thing? Can anything be done about it? Should anything be done about it? Readings will include some classic texts on the subject as well as contemporary works written by economists, historians, and public intellectuals. Our goal will be to understand some of the different perspectives in the debate. | |
