Consider how growing inequality influences U.S. domestic stability, economic power, and international credibility. Additionally, how might these internal disparities shape U.S. foreign policy decisions, its role in global economic institutions, and its ability to engage with both developed and developing nations on issues of trade, aid, and global economic inequality?
