Economic Inequality - Taking Sides Article

The short story of Christopher · Jenks main point of this article: The main point of this article is economic inequality with the United States The richest and steadily the poorest, the title and author of the analysis table of goods - side summary please. And this inequality affects people in many ways than to buy power; it also affects education, life expectancy, living environment and possible happiness. Another idea he advocated is that the US government has less aid to offer to unemployed people than other rich countries.

My purpose in this article is to reconstruct Rousseau's philosophical position on the legality of social inequality, especially economic inequality, and to clarify the relevance to contemporary inequality arguments. I will focus his view on the discourse of the origin of inequality (the second discourse), but if he does not introduce the concept of social concepts, I can not understand his overall position. I emphasize that I am interested in Rousseau's philosophical positioning. Because he has a coherent position worthy of our attention and many interpreters only vaguely understand the philosophical significance of discourse.

Start with inequality. The other side of US economic dynamism is that it becomes more unequal - but it is more complicated than the way it first appeared (see the article). As the collection of talent and capital in the global market increased, wealthy people in the US left others. Even though US companies are at the forefront of water, Bill Gates and Goldman Sachs' partners are still rich, but software and investment banking is global, so Gates's value is $ 50 billion, Goldman Sachs average 22,400 It is person salary. Profit in excess of $ 500,000

Since the 1970s, the economic inequality in the US has dramatically increased. In particular, rich people became richer. Most people writing this article said economic inequality was a bad thing and should be reduced. I am interested in this topic. Because I am one of the founder of Y Combinator, helping people launch startups. Almost definitely, if the startup succeeds, its founder will be wealthy. That means I helped to increase the economic inequality by helping the startup founders. If economic inequality should be severely diminished, I should not help the founder. No one should do it. But it is true that these new startups will bring more value to themselves than they do to society as a whole.
