Do you consider it a problem to have huge economic inequality in a society?



It seems like more of a problem not to.

I think the best solution is to allow inequality, but to work hard to prevent wealth from becoming self-perpetuating through political power.


The other thing to do is to look after the bottom X% in terms of absolute poverty - making sure that they have basic food, medical, and so on. You could still have a lot of inequality, but at least no one falls beyond a certain point.
