I take issue with the assertion that wealth inequality is a non-issue. Morally it rubs me wrong, but of course this means nothing, so, instead, I've been trying to wrap my head around the economic implications of increased disparity in wealth. This is what I came up with.



High levels of wealth inequality: fewer people able to allocate capital to ideas

Fewer ideas receive funding: economy is less diverse

Lack of economic diversity: increased susceptibility to variance caused by everything from natural disasters to consumer trends

Greater economic variance: decreased societal stability



Thoughts?
