“Confronting Inequality” is an article from Paul Krugman’s book The Conscience of a Liberal (2007). Krugman gained worldwide recognition after winning the Nobel Prize in 2008, and in his regular time he writes a column in the New York Times and teaches economics at Princeton. Contrary to most of the literary examples of criticizing modern economic conditions, Paul Krugman provides his suggestions in the mode of problem-solution. The author stresses attention to the radical shift his generation has
American society is not to blame for insular poverty in our nation because the United States is known as being “The Land of Opportunity,” if a man from the slums has the willpower to get out of the ghetto he can because there are endless opportunities for him in this great country. In the passage “The position of Poverty” by John Kenneth Galbraith he voices his extremely close-minded opinion on poverty in the United States. Galbraith wishes to live in a perfect world where poverty can be completely
Government legislation in the labour market by making various laws to create fair and equal opportunities for the eligible candidates has helped. But still Issues like inequality and insecurity are still prevailing resulting in social stratification and class structure. Work inequality and insecurity are two different concepts.

existence. In the United States I do not believe such a system is in full effect. There is a large margin of education inequality in America. Underserved and underprivileged young people are left behind due to improper fundings. These issues lead to more problems than simply what they are addressing. This repeating cycle of violence and inequality only breeds more violence and inequality. When a nation doesn’t serve all, it serves no one, and it’s clear the United states is not serving its most important
1. Introduction The term “market” is a concept in which the human being is engaged with frequently. Mar-kets are present for centuries, even before the invention of agriculture. Without these mar-kets, economics would not have a frame nor a point where transactions can be made possible. This present-day, there is a variety of markets. Markets can be compared with languages, considering that there are many different kinds and ways in which they are spoken. There is one particular type of market that
Literature is where one could go to explore the highest and lowest points of human society, find the absolute truth, and support it using personal experiences and knowledge. Such is the case with writer Upton Sinclair, who grew up experiencing both sides of wealth and class divisions. By reflecting on his experiences with class division, Upton Sinclair’s exposé not only sheds light on the fight for workers rights but also incorporates a Socialist philosophy. Upton Sinclair was born in Baltimore

Justice is the right relationships among all created beings so that all move steadily toward fullness of life. The disparity brought amongst unbalanced Americans this day and age is burden that needs to be fixed. One way to do restore the balance is by modifying taxes. First, as Krugman states, “let the Bush tax cuts for the very well off expire.” In return this will create enough revenue to be used elsewhere. Secondly, close the loopholes in the US government. One in particular of these loopholes
