Resumen de The inequality delusion
Cognitive scientist Mark Sheskin says the gap between rich and poor is often said to be a defining issue of age, that's odd, given that people are not actually bothered by inequality. Some fights for equality, such as against racial prejudice, are morally straightforward. But the battle against economic inequality isn't so simple. He recently explored this issue and concluded that a crucial step in fighting inequality is realising that it is not all bad. The trait they call inequality aversion emerges early in development and is found across many cultures, from city dwellers in the US to villagers in Peru and Uganda. The fight against inequality is most certainly a fight worth having. There are staggering levels of inequality in the world, and wide agreement that these should be reduced.
