Crime rates are a policy choice. Degree of Segregation is a policy choice. A trick I have heard is to lock your future self into choices you would like future self to take - from pre-ordering lunch to automatic savings. Societies are I guess similar - and the voices we make from walkable city streets to conscription will affect inequality (and we suspect lower inequality leads to wealthier societies all round)
