Karina's Blog # 3

As i was reading Paul Krugman's essay, i came across the answer to his question about "why should we care about high and rising inequality?" His answer was that "One reason to care about high and rising inequality is the matter of living standards." He stated that the lack of clear economic progress for lower - and middle - income families is in itself an important reason to seek a more equal distribution of income. I do agree with Paul Krugman's answer because due to all of this inequality, is why lower class and middle class get less benefits than the rich. The lower class is affected greatly by this inequality because they struggle with their medical needs and with their other needs such as, food, clothing, and shelter. sometimes they even struggle because they do not get good enough medical attention as they need. I feel inequality is unfair.

Just to let you know professor i hope this blog was right because I kind of did not understand it very well, so I dont know if I did it correctly.

  1. Don't worry Karina - the blog is a place to try out your ideas. You're right as far as you go. What other reasons does Krugman say we should be concerned?
