Episode notes
The greater the inequality within a society, the higher the likelihood of social unrest. This unrest is often driven by disaffected young men who are hindered from advancing up the social hierarchy. Attempts to address relative poverty can lead to increasing absolute poverty, with the most effective solution found in a free exchange system. The data post the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989 demonstrate a significant decrease in global poverty levels due to the adoption of free trade economies. This highlights the necessity of maintaining a certain level of inequality to reduce absolute poverty levels and promote economic growth.
