Abstract
Income inequality is “the defining challenge of our time,” former US President Barack Obama said in a speech in December 2013. Undoubtedly, the financial crisis and the sluggish recovery in its aftermath have increased attention to rising inequality. The OECD published a report titled In It Together: Why Less Inequality Benefits All in 2015. This is a text you should read and remember because it thoroughly points out why inequality is harmful and what can be done to reduce it.
