The Inequality Trap

There is another vicious circle Economic inequality translates into political inequality, which in turn reinforces the former, including through a tax system that allows people like Romney who insists that he has been subject to an income tax rate of at least 13 for the last ten years not to pay their fair share. The resulting economic inequality a result of politics as much as market forces contributes to today s overall economic weakness.

Research by Jason Furman, US President Barack Obama s top economic adviser, and Peter Orszag, Obama s former budget director, has found that rising pay differentials are the prime cause of widening US wage inequality in recent decades.

Inequality was also reflected in the global unemployment situation.

An analysis of the average income of rural workers clearly shows the great inequality that exists between white and black women, and particularly the persistence of this inequality.

This inequality applies between countries as well as within countries.

Here it is in relation to that same measure of inequality.

Income inequality grew rapidly in the last decade, but consumption inequality did not. The reason easy credit, especially subprime mortgages, which helped those without means to keep up with the Joneses.

Yes, the inequality goes in this direction, or I would posit it.
