In recent decades, economic inequality (both income inequality and wealth inequality) has become a prominent topic in American politics.\u00a0How would you define income inequality? How is income inequality measured? What has happened to income inequality in the United States since the end of the Second World War in 1945? What evidence can you provide to support your answer? What are the reasons for the changes in income inequality since 1945?<\/p>\n

What is wealth inequality and how does it differ from income inequality? Is wealth more or less equally distributed than income? Why do you suppose that is? What has happened to wealth inequality in the U.S. in recent years? What accounts for those changes?<\/p>\n

Do you think the trend in economic inequality is a problem? Why or why not?<\/p>\n

These slides from the film<\/a>,\u00a0Inequality for All<\/em>, provide some more context about wealth and income inequality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t
