ABSTRACT
People who are forced by economic inequality to inhabit dissimilar universes will be unable to co-operate intelligently. To obtain complete equality of income for all is probably impossible and perhaps even undesirable. The degree of economic inequality is not the same in all countries. In England, for example, inequality is greater, even among employees of the state, than in France. In a society where the minimum wage is very small, it may be necessary to fix the rate of inequality at a higher level than in one where the majority of people are earning something more nearly approaching the optimum income. The economic is not the only kind of inequality. There is also the more formidable, the less remediable inequality which exists between individuals of different psychological types. The solution of the problem of natural inequality is moral and practical. Bad leadership is undesirable at any social level.
