Question

If our actions and behaviors mostly reproduce the condition in which we live, how can we change inequality?

Answer 1

We may ask the governments to intervene to promote equity, and reduce inequality and poverty, through the tax and benefits system. This means employing a progressive tax and benefits system which takes proportionately more tax from those on higher levels of income, and redistributes welfare benefits to those on lower incomes. This may lead to a reduction in global inequality.
