In this episode, we focus on Inequality. We talk about the cultural psychology of economic inequality, and how it differsfrom the economics of it. We discuss the two dominant stories about economic inequality. We talk about how people perceive fairness. We discuss a view from manywheres about economic inequality, and explore the data about capitalism and economic inequality. We talk about the link between relative deprivation, feelings of unfairness, and civic unrest. We discuss the rise of populism and authoritarianism, and talk about the “Equality–Difference Paradox”. Finally, we explore three possible futures, and the view of ethical pluralism, focusing on the principles of creating fairness, escaping from poverty, and pursuing human capabilities.
