TCS Daily has a nice little article about income inequality. While I recommend reading the whole thing (it isn't very long), here is a summary of the points made:
- Those who advocate leaving things up to markets are not necessarily believing in market forces with blind faith. Rather, while we recognize that markets fail and that government intervention is another option, we believe that government fails much more frequently than markets do.
- Income inequality is a poor measure of prosperity. That is, who cares what one's position is relative to someone else's? What really matters is how well off one is in more absolute terms.
