Discussion Forum 9: Economic Inequality

Watch Richard Wilkinson’s TED talk which charts the hard data on economic inequality, and shows what gets worse when rich and poor are too far apart: real effects on health, lifespan, even such basic values as trust. Do you agree with Richard Wilkinson on the detrimental effects of economic inequality? How does this relate to what we are talking about this week, anomie?
