Inequality is harming society, comments on Richard Wilkinson’s TED Talk

The main conclusion from Richard Wilkinson’s TED Talk is that there is a strong relationship between countries with high levels of income inequality and health and social problems. This relationship does not exist if you exchange the inequality measure to national income per capita.

So, if you want to maximize the health of a population and mimimize social problems, the it doesn’t matter if a relatively rich country becomes richer but it does matter how that wealth is distributed. That is why inequality is one of the biggest concerns of our time, especially when it’s on the rise as you can see in our previous post. 

A solution from the Economy for the Common Good

So how can we fix this? Christian Felber and the Economy for the Common Good suggest a limit on how much more the top earner can earn within a country, compared to the lowest paid person for the same amount of working hours. This factor should be decided on by a democratically organized economic convention that comes up with different alternatives which would in the second step be voted on by the population. If the top people would want to earn more, there would be only one obstacle: raise the minimum income with the same equivalent. As Christian Felber puts it: “The rich and the poor would be fatefully intertwined.” We see this as an utopian principle for society that is worth fighting for.

It is not about creating total equality, it is about putting a limit on inequality. Something Richard Wilkinson’s TED Talk should convince you is a critical issue for all developed nations today.
