Digging Beneath the Surface

Check out this video from TED (Technology Entertainment and Design). Richard Wilkinson, Professor Emertius of Social Epidemiology at the University of Nottingham (U.K.), elaborates the dangers of how income inequality is bad for everyone, rich, poor, or middle class.

In the video, Wilkinson disassembles the United States' GDP to show how prevalent income inequality is in our society.
