How much inequality should there be: fairness, social benefits. Revolt by risk innovators: social collapse, rich people wanted to make more so they stopped working and the society collapsed. Argues that inequality is useful and inevitable. Leaders got special things cottages, cars, shop for western goods (ex. Tvs), apartments, travel, etc. children of leaders got to go to better schools. The rich people left and bought nice houses in other countries (ex. rich street in toronto has mainly soviets living there) Emergence of inequality inequality of power (from large-scale organizations) is translated into status and economic outcomes. Some jobs (ex. physician) are more important than others (ex. janitor) To motivate people to make the sacrifices necessary to train for important jobs, they must receive large rewards for their work: need distribute and motivate people, years education, cost, income foregone, intern long hours. Required: ex. contribute more & deserve higher rewards, time of impact, criticality, replace-ability.
