Principle of CharityShould We Care About Inequality? With Russ RobertsInternationally recognised economist, educator and host of the podcast EconTalk, Dr Russ Roberts, discusses wealth and inequality under capitalism and questions whether there is real harm in inequality. Rather, in distinguishing inequality from poverty he says it’s the damage from poverty, not inequality, that’s more deserving of public concern and political focus. In a wide ranging discussion, we discuss whether the rich really deserve their spoils, how rigged the system actually is, and whether economics as a discipline is able to incorporate all the crucial non monetary aspects of life, like dignity and self fulfillment.2022-10-1742 min
