What is your opinion on Income Inequality?

[Zaras]

My opinion is that it is an unfortunate yet unavoidable part of life.

The extreme version shouldn't be that unavoidable...

[The Joseon Dynasty]

Oh.

No. Look up. Read actual explianation. прочитай!

I hope you're not studying economics.

[Greater Nilfgaard]

Because that way we can see once and for all which version is superior. Plus everyone can choose to live in whatever kind of society they want.

I'd argue that this is as democratic as you can get.

You already know what I'm going to argue: this is as stupid as an idea can get.

почему ?

[Greater Nilfgaard]

No. Look up. Read actual explianation. прочитай!

I hope you're not studying economics.

I'm studying international studies, history and a bit of philosophy and political science

[The Joseon Dynasty]

I hope you're not studying economics.

I'm studying international studies, history and polisci.

I'd suggest learning some economics before attempting to develop (rather odd) solutions to economic issues.

Yeah well you're free to implement your solution at any time.

I'd say rather odd is just what we need. Plus I may not hav taken economics but I know a lot about world history and also internation studies courses that teach about regional economics.

That's insufficient. If you're attempting to develop a framework that will resolve economic issues (an arguably impossible task), you need to have a deep and varied understanding of the discipline in which you're dabbling. You need to understand all of the mechanisms that govern economic decision-making, and the models that reflect and predict the effectiveness of various prescriptions.

The equivalent of what you're doing is trying to cure a complicated disease with only a tangential knowledge of medicine. What you'll come up with is something simplistic, entirely inaccurate and possibly quite harmful.

Your arguement assumes that economic problems exist in a vaccum and can only be solved by economics. I believe that most economic issues have political and social roots. I seek to rectify said roots.

They do. But economic issues, by definition, are chiefly related to economics. Incorporating other disciplines can only improve your outlook, certainly, but you're ignoring the core field entirely.

If you go fishing with a whole set of shiny hooks, they'll only improve your chances of catching a fish. But if you forget to bring the rod, you won't be catching anything. Do you see?

I get that. But this is why I will have economic consultants to help me properly implement this idea.

[Darvia]

Income inequality is bad as it oppresses the poor. that is why I am for classless societies, but i'm not communist. I'm democratic socialist.

Sterling comeback.

Communism is all about classless societies. Democratic socialism isn't.

You've missed the point. Your problem isn't with implementing the idea, it's with the idea itself. You've conceived something without any knowledge of the discipline in which it's based.

You need to learn economics in detail, and then return to these issues. Otherwise your "economic consultants", if they're worth their salt, will quite quickly inform you why your idea isn't feasible whatsoever.

I like neither. But they will both have a place in my new world

I guess we won't know for sure unless we give it a try. Most great ideas require some form of a leap of faith.

Actually Democratic socialism does indeed support classless societies.

May I suggest you read this?

I guess we won't know for sure unless we give it a try. Most great ideas require some form of a leap of faith.

Most great ideas are conceived by people with an open mind, who constantly re-evaluate and re-examine their concepts, seek criticism and contributions from others, ground their ideas in identifiable theory, etc. Even with all that, only after a rigorous and meticulous analysis, people might be willing to implement it. Maybe.

You're not doing any of these things. You haven't left first base. You have a skeleton of an idea, which you've developed while missing critical chunks of information about the subject in which you're dabbling.

So, my advice, open your mind and go learn something. You'll be a better person for it.

I have a very open mind. Actually I've changed my plan considerably since it's first conception. For instance at first I called for an abolishment of religion then I didn't

You're not demonstrating that here. Seriously, go read a book.

Your thought process and the logic behind your rebuttals are very strange.

"I called for the abolishment of religion. Then I didn't. This is an example of how I am openminded."

Presumably someone convinced him otherwise, but I don't really know. It's been a pretty confusing discussion.
