> But when people talk about "fairness", it usually means quality of life right? The ability to afford good healthcare, high quality food, housing, security, providing for a family, social opportunities. How are we defining fairness? Then why is it that the same people who go on about inequality continue to go on about inequality when countries raise the entire standard of living but have more inequality as a result. For example, by and large, the modern day economic system (let's just call it capitalism) has caused the greatest increase in standard of living for the average world resident. We live at a time of unheard of prosperity and abundance for the vast majority of people. They are way better off today under this economic system. Yet the constant criticism of this system is that there are really rich people. Why is that a criticism when the data are pretty unequivocal that the system also makes things better for everyone else?
