Ribbiting Disparities
Episode 29
Tuesday, 23 September, 2025

This podcast explores the notion of income inequality. Although it’s an oft-discussed subject, it’s not always defined well or only discussed in the narrow band of the moral arguments against it. This discussion is meant to go deeper, including examining both the positive and negative aspects of inequality and its role in an economic system. Fundamentally, we’re asking the question as to whether some amount of inequality is a necessary byproduct of capitalism, or perhaps even a desirable outcome of an economic system. Therefore, we hypothesize that there may be an “optimal” amount of inequality in a society.
