Income inequality is weakly correlated with everything. It seems to be a necessary consequence of both the most and least prosperous societies. Honestly, income inequality is a red herring of left politics and public schooling. If the most prosperous societies have high income inequality, then the question must be asked: does it matter? Unless you want to design a utopia. That goes swimmingly every time, I promise. Edit: If income inequality is a consequence of freedom, it's a very, very tiny price to pay. Don't optimize for the economy. Optimize for freedom. Empirically, that's how you create prosperity.
