Why Inequality Does Not Undermine Democracy
Conventional wisdom holds that inequality undermines the quality of democracy.
This notion — that the principle of formal political equality cannot survive when a
concentration of economic resources grants power to the few at the expense of the
many — has instinctive appeal. Yet perhaps because it is so widely accepted, no one
has ever questioned the proposition’s theoretical foundations or its empirical veracity.
