Inequality

Overcoming Bias has an interesting post about inequality.

Consider that “sibling differences [within each family] account for three-quarters of all differences between individuals in explaining American economic inequality” and that “eliminating income inequality within all nations would reduce global income inequality by no more than one-third.” So why do we talk mainly about financial inequality between a nation’s families, when each of these other six inequalities is arguably larger?

Good question.
