    In the United States, the top ten percent of all households own seventy-six percent of all the wealth in the country (1). Income inequality is frequently highlighted, but why is wealth inequality rarely brought to our attention? The political system has failed to deal with the problem, and the gap will only continue to grow in the future. How can we call this the land of opportunity when the bottom forty percent will most likely stay the bottom forty percent for their entire lives (1)? That is why I offer a modest proposal to overthrow the current system and establish a Utopian society built from the rubble. This Utopia, which I shall refer to as the United Socialist States of America (USSA), is going to be built around the premise of economic equity through the equal distribution of resources and knowledge. This would create a society without greed because money is the ultimate…

    A crucial controversy of America today is the growing gap between the wealthy and the poor, and the discrepancy is caused by capitalism run wild and only the helping hand of the government can only fix the problem. A question that turns the tables is what if the growing wealth disparity in America is actually caused by the government? For years, the idea that inequality is economically neutral has been the prevailing view not just among traditionalists but also between most Americans outside the further reaches of a political audience. There could be ideological or moral reasons to object to a growing gap between the wealthy and the rest but for economic reasons, there are no such. Furthermore, there are many ways inequality places itself in America. In our society, a good amount of the population is forced to stand up and work for our country while hardly being redeemed for their time and effort, thus the problem of income inequality. An estimate of these people live from paycheck to another, barely coping with life itself, not because they cannot manage their money well, but the reason is that…

    In “Income Inequality: Too Big to Ignore”, Frank shows the influences in Americans’ lives in different classes by the disparity between the rich and the poor. He arouses people’s consciousness for the “rising inequality” which is being polarized and has been causing immense damages to Americans, no matter which class they are. It is true that the “Income Inequality” in America is very obvious and affecting more and more people. Indeed, “we should just agree that it’s a bad thing”, however, are we able to do something concrete to deal with it effectively? Is the” rising inequality really required in the name of fairness”? I stand neutral towards Frank’s opinion.…

    Over the past four years into the economic recovery session there has been some progress in the poverty rates. However, the rates weren’t significantly improved in the number of Americans living in poverty. It is always the same old story where the gains from the economic growth go largely to the wealthiest Americans, and I believe that there should be an end to this. If you could just hear me out, and listen to the solutions I have to reduce both poverty and income inequality.…

    The persistence of poverty and wealth inequality in the United States submitted to the recent theoretical lenses of Matthew Desmond and Mustafa Emirbayer which focus on institutional racism in the labor market, education and housing in the twentieth century, help us grasp the mechanisms by which disadvantages breed disadvantages over several generations. We intend to show from the New deal to the civil right movement some persistent interactions in which institutions like the government, real-state and financial sectors, school and family have played an important role in nurturing a culture of segregation and discrimination.…

While time has progressed, there has been a rise in the wealth of those who are already wealthy, and there has been a lower standard of salary implemented for those currently entering the job market.

    The word “opportunity” is defined as the circumstance available to achieve one’s goals. It is a word that is especially applicable to America; the idea of America as nation where anybody has the opportunity to succeed is so embedded into the American identity that “opportunity” has transcended its dictionary definition. It has become an intrinsic part of the American Dream, a word ingrained with the history of many generations. To many, America is often considered the land of opportunity; from the earliest colonizers, who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean for religious freedom and economic gains, to pioneers who traveled in wagon trains to the American west in pursuit of gold and land, to immigrants throughout history who have come to America for a better life. America has always been seen as a place where people can strive to improve their lot in life, as long as they had the determination and perseverance to do so. Despite this idealistic image of America, however, it is not always supported in reality. We should aim to appreciate, to strive for, to live the ideal that hard work leads to success, but we should also acknowledge…

    Throughout mankind 's history there 's been constant strife between society 's wealthy upper class and the less fortunate lower class, with an ever expanding gap between the two. Notably, our nation, which operates under a capitalistic economy, has unavoidably been plagued by unequal economic opportunity, in spite of the mythical belief that all Americans have an equal opportunity at success. The issue arises when although two individuals may put forth the same effort and possess the same exact talents and intelligence, they may not have an equal shot at success because of their economic standings. This inequality is seen as a truly critical issue by many, even being called the essential problem for the next generation…

    Chinese society during the classical era was largely shaped by its officials and those who held power in politics. Those appointed to power were chosen mostly on their social standing. The wealthy were put into power and decided the fate of the rest of the citizens of the state. In the beginning, most land was owned by peasants and farmers who would produce crops to harvest for trade in order to prosper. This is a direct quote from our textbook that explains The Landlord Class during classical China; “Most officials came from wealthy families, and in China wealth meant land. When the Qin dynasty unified China by 210 B.C.E., most land was held by small scale peasant farmers.…

In Forbes Magazine, there’s an article written by an author named, Laura Shin, about how white people have a more advantaged at obtaining more household wealth than other races. This article helps shine light on the difference in the levels of wealth acquired by different races. In this paper, I will be connecting conflict theories and wealth inequality together. Conflict theories will further help why we normally differentiate between races and social classes based on how much someone has in their pockets. Wealth inequality will guide the reason behind why privileged classes own a lot of assets…
