Make a case for income inequality


First, by rewarding people for their productivity by paying them wages equal to their MRPs, people will
have the incentive to work and improve their skills. Since MRPs vary, people must receive different wage
rates, and this creates income inequality. Second, because the rich can afford to save a higher percentage of
their income than can the poor, they tend to do the economy's investing, thus generating economic growth
that benefits everyone.
