Depends on which kind of inequality. 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism, despite the bait title, actually looks amazing.
For gender inequality The Second Sex or selected passages from it,
for racial inequality in America Baldwin's essays are meant to be incredible,
that's what I can think of.

Holy shit that city looks like such a shit hole. Usually these bitches are taking these pictures from the 200th floor of some sheikh's pleasure tower. That looks like it was taken from an abandoned warehouse in some bombed out post-industrial zone that got hit hard by the GFC.

Nobel Prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz wrote a book a while ago I think called the Price of Inequality. It's a very quick read and really easy to undertand his arguments. I don't know how well it might have aged, having been written during and for the Occupy times, but it's not like inequality has stopped being a problem or the factors causing it have changed since 2012.

>>12084295
The 'soul,' per Aristotle, is the animating principle of a living thing, that sense of dynamic unity which holds together the disparate elements of a thing in the moment and over time. The soul, as the metaphyisical ground of a thing's intelligibility, is what gives real things the 'inner light' of real existence and wholeness which the intellect understands.

To call something 'soulless' is to see it as an accidental collection of accidents. Vapidity is part of this: vapidity implies intellectual and spiritual passivity, and hence obscures, objectifies and hollows out, rather than reveals, and projects, the true individual.

All arguments about "inequality" refer to morons with no fiscal responsibility living in expensive cities for no reason, i.e. the people who make the arguments, rather than genuinely poor people, which they hate even more than they claim their oppressors do.

Ignoring inequality as a problem is a terrible idea. Even if you think there's nothing inherently wrong about it, you'll say differently when the proles come around and start eating us. I live on the outer edge of a wealthy neighborhood surrounded by millions of poors and every day it seems to get worse. We're thinking of actually building a wall because crime has gotten so bad.
