The Inequality Paradox
This chapter explores the paradox of societal cohesion in the face of stark inequality, particularly through the lens of the poor's experiences with deprivation. It examines the gap between statistical measures of equality and the chaotic lived realities, while also addressing the feelings of envy and resentment that arise from visible disparities in wealth. Furthermore, the chapter discusses the complexities of social inequality and how societal hierarchies shape individuals' aspirations and acceptance of their situations.
