Exactly! Most people in the world are well below that "certain point". In an ideal world that everyone has enough to feel safe and secure, probably wealth inequality won't matter as much.
- blueboo 8y agoExcept that the only 'wealth' that matters. is that which translates into power. So wealth inequality is power inequality. That is, wealth inequality is the enemy of democracy.
- dantheman 8y agoIf your concerned about power inequality - then we have to worry about politicians, famous people, authors, academics, managers, landlords etc... Wealth is only one form of power; it is at least achieved in ideal circumstances through voluntary interaction. Whereas many wish to exercise their power through threats of violence.
