Week 8: Why Should We Care About Global Inequality?

We should care about global inequality because it affects our everyday life, just like Jennifer Lerner said on the podcast. She made very important points about everything that's affected. Global inequality affects the prices of goods, the economy, and the world environment. Jennifer said that our countries are intertwined. That's very much true. The United States relies on other countries for petroleum and crude oil. If this relationship becomes unequal, then the price of gas will be sky-high and it will affect the economy greatly. Global inequality can lead to wars. Wars lead to an economic crisis and deaths of hundreds of people.
