1. The most shocking statistic of wealth inequality on page 29 is that the top 1% owns 40-50% of the nation’s wealth. It’s shocking to me because the US is one of the most powerful nations in the world and with that would come money but to think almost half the wealth is from the top 1% is wild.
  2. The biggest implication of a society that has huge wealth inequalities is unequal wages. I don’t see this being played out because the big corporations in the world today help fund campaigns for Congress as I learned in my sociology class. So if that’s the case and they help contribute to the nation’s wealth, why would anything change if it’s a win-win for the nations powerful and wealthiest figures
