Abstract

What do people talk about when they talk about inequality? To begin with, they probably don’t use the word “inequality” much at all, writes Michael Vaughan. More than elite-led debate about inequality, what captures the attention is the spectacle of inequality, as seen in the Luigi Mangione case, the billionaire space race and other examples.
