How optimal or non-optimal is today's level of economic inequality in the USA? This is the subject for a couple of writing assignments. Are we too equal? Too unequal? About right?
Write a 700 word column on whether current levels of inequality are too high, too low or about right. You have to take a position. You CANNOT just report the debate! At least not if you want credit. Your instructor will view with favor a good column on a particular aspect of inequality, but you need to stay on-topic. Please, no columns on ballplayer salaries or the high price of Picassos! No columns centered on your experience of inequality.
