Why This Matters

Economic inequality isn't just a social issue—it's an economic one. Research suggests that extreme inequality reduces overall economic growth, innovation, and prosperity. By implementing evidence-based policies that reduce inequality, we can create a more productive and dynamic economy that benefits everyone.

The Economic Case for Reducing Inequality

Economic research demonstrates that reducing inequality creates broader prosperity through enhanced consumer spending, improved human capital, and increased social mobility.
