Is wealth inequality really that important? I don't feel much pressure to "keep up with the Joneses". I'd be much happier being twice as rich even if the people at the top were 4 times as rich.
It depends on what you want in life. There can not be 7 billion mansions on the waterfront land of the equator. Only one person can own the Yankees. These things are decided by wealth inequality regardless of how rich we all become. If you just want a roof over your head somewhere and food to eat, then yeah it doesn't matter at all.
