Explore how economic inequality can be measured and how it is impacted by different governmental policy choices.

--

Income and wealth inequality are not new. In fact, economists and historians who have charted economic inequality throughout history haven’t found a single society without it. Which raises a bleak question: is inequality … inevitable? Explore how economic inequality can be measured and how it is impacted by different governmental policy choices.

  • I don't have a problem with rich people existing. What I do have a problem with, is people not even being able to afford living.
  • I guess it's more of a 'trying to curb inequality as much as possible' instead of a 'getting rid of inequality' kinda situation. Getting rid of it seems unrealistic.
  • @Car_toz
    Some "inequality" is OK, as long as the bottom group can survive comfortably and the top group re-invest and become good employers. Sadly that is not happening in too many places, causing misery for many.
  • @bluesoman
    Inequality is less important than what the lowest rung of society has. We should strive to raise the floor of society so that everyone's needs are met. We have the means.
  • @mrloboto
    Yeh asking for exact identical situations in all things is absurd, but basic standards of living and human rights shouldn't be fantasy either.
  • Really liking these new videos discussing economics, policy, and the way we live, keep it up!
  • You work for 40yrs to have $1m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
  • Amazing video as usual. I just have to point out that the world economic forum is funded by billion-dollar industries that actually work against the same principles detailed in this video.
  • @ohayo3473
    I REALLY LOVE THIS NEW STYLE YOU GUYS ARE TRYING. I love the characters. They're so full of emotion, they literally feel like human beings and that's what makes this video so wholesome. I actually enjoyed this video whilst learning about something new
  • TED-Ed always have great production, but this one was exceptional - the animation, the script, the voiceover 👍
  • One of the most visually intriguing animations I've seen from you guys in the past few years. Great job!
  • @thetrison
    The creativity put into visualizing this video is unbelievable!
  • If you divided all the money and valuables in the world equally between all the people in the world, within less than 5 minutes, some people would be richer than others. It's an impossible task.
  • everyone here is discussing economic and inequality like real adults while all I can remember from this video is the voice over at 3:20
  • The level of the arguments posed by the narrator is appreciably awesome. One must ponder and try to get more knowledge in order to understand the concepts mentioned in this video. Best wishes for your voyage!
  • @mcrsit
    Yep, while all Ted-Ed videos are worth watching, this one is a step ahead. Well done, and thank you for sharing!
  • I would have loved to see you touch on domestic versus international wealth inequality. And also the difference between income inequality and wealth inequality. I feel like those are the two main things that most people don’t understand.
  • Here in the Philippines, many people are suffering from poverty due to lack of education, misguidance by their parents, and the use of illegal drugs. All these factors result in many crimes afterwards. Additionally, a bad governance is adding a chain to the lives of many Filipinos from local to national There is still corruption & manipulation. And I realized, it is the wrong attitude that makes us poor. Therefore, it is difficult to rise against inequality because people think differently.
  • Everyone is also so generous, the unfortunate thing is that they're just generous with money were never theirs.
