Is Inequality Fair?
We’re told that the gap between the poor and the rich has widened. Many decry the “injustice” of income and wealth inequality. But is it actually a problem and are the proposed remedies truly just? What is a fair “distribution” of income and wealth? Is “equality” a valid concept?
In this talk, Dr. Yaron Brook argues not only that the egalitarian notion of equality is inherently unjust — since it amounts to cutting down the most able, intelligent and productive — but also that laissez-faire capitalism is the real system of justice. (Recorded March 5, 2014.)
