Questions to be addressed include: Have more unequal societies grown faster or slower? Is the starting condition of inequality one that promotes growth or envy? Are the dynamics of inequality, rising or slowing over time, factors that contribute or detract from growth? Can the concept of “fair income” distribution be defined through time as social priorities have evolved in the past century or so? Is there a measure for economic (not income) inequality that can be track through time to assess whether it has been rising or falling? Can that measure be correlated or explained by technology? Does the marginal theory of pricing create inequality if there are positive technological shocks?
