Just because something is printed doesn’t make it absolute truth. Be critical of what you are reading. I have chosen many readings precisely because they are provocative. If you find yourself strongly disagreeing with a reading, that’s fine. I encourage strong disagreement. However, if you disagree, you must clarify in your mind the reasons and evidence upon which you are basing your disagreement. At the same time, keep an open mind. Listen to what the readings have to say. Think about what other experiences you have had and readings you have done that might corroborate the course readings. Give yourself time to reflect on the information, insights, and perspectives offered in the readings.]]> 2018-10-17 17:59:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jclerch/iojqndw0lq5x/wish/294017969 Recommended as Conservative Responses jclerch https://padlet.com/jclerch/iojqndw0lq5x/wish/294812844 2018-10-19 13:36:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jclerch/iojqndw0lq5x/wish/294812844 jclerch https://padlet.com/jclerch/iojqndw0lq5x/wish/294813327 2018-10-19 13:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jclerch/iojqndw0lq5x/wish/294813327 jclerch https://padlet.com/jclerch/iojqndw0lq5x/wish/294813664 2018-10-19 13:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jclerch/iojqndw0lq5x/wish/294813664 jclerch https://padlet.com/jclerch/iojqndw0lq5x/wish/294813769 2018-10-19 13:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jclerch/iojqndw0lq5x/wish/294813769 jclerch https://padlet.com/jclerch/iojqndw0lq5x/wish/294819619 More on upward mobility]]> 2018-10-19 13:47:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jclerch/iojqndw0lq5x/wish/294819619 S2019 Presentation on US Employment (Recommended) jclerch https://padlet.com/jclerch/iojqndw0lq5x/wish/319949830 2019-01-12 14:39:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jclerch/iojqndw0lq5x/wish/319949830 The focus here is on inequality developed through international trade jclerch https://padlet.com/jclerch/iojqndw0lq5x/wish/371805071 2019-07-21 20:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jclerch/iojqndw0lq5x/wish/371805071 jclerch https://padlet.com/jclerch/iojqndw0lq5x/wish/372045024 2019-07-23 15:38:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jclerch/iojqndw0lq5x/wish/372045024 Essential Knowledge jclerch https://padlet.com/jclerch/iojqndw0lq5x/wish/372214367 Income levels and poverty rates vary greatly both across and within groups (e.g., age, gender, race) and countries.

The Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient are used to represent the degree of inequality in distributions and to compare distributions across different countries, policies, or time periods.

Explain sources of income and wealth inequality.

Each factor of production receives the value of its marginal product, which can contribute to income inequality.

Sources of income and wealth inequality include differences in tax structures (progressive and regressive tax structures), human capital, social capital, inheritance, effects of discrimination, access to financial markets, mobility, and bargaining power within economic and social units (firms, labor unions, and families).
