The geography of inequality
<p>Inequality is one of the hottest topics these days and one particularly dear to my heart. <strong>As a French who lived in the UK for a year and in California for 5, I always find fascinating to try to understand how societies evolve and what values and social contracts they establish</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Income (and wealth) inequality acceptance is obviously very different between France and the USA</strong>. France overall is very attached to a notion of social justice, and this was made clear by the recent protests that happened in the last year (the Yellow Vest movement, the protest against the retirement reform). <strong>A common feeling in discussions with French people is that for someone to make more, someone else has to be making less</strong>, and this leads to a fairly binary opposition of “the rich” vs “the poor” (I tried to debunk these terms in <a href="https://medium.com/perspective-critique/debunking-the-1-fallacy-be060c5b74df" rel="noopener">a previous post</a> highlighting that these notions are hard to define).</p>
