We’re told that the gap between the poor and the rich has widened. Many decry the “injustice” of income and wealth inequality. But is it actually a problem and are the proposed remedies truly just? What is a fair “distribution” of income and wealth?
In this lecture, Yaron Brook takes on these and related issues and argues that a genuinely laissez-faire capitalist society is, in fact, the only system of fairness, that is, justice.
Recorded by the Students for Liberty Czech of Yaron Brook's lecture on why equality is not really a fair system, held on 21 February 2023 at the Anglo-American University, Prague, Czechia.
