Question

Frans de Waal found that capuchin monkeys strongly oppose this phenomenon in an experiment where they were fed cucumbers. In The Spirit Level, (10[1])Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett argued that this phenomenon (-5[1])“gets under the skin,” correlating with numerous negative health outcomes. Tony Atkinson’s index of this phenomenon includes a coefficient that represents aversion to this (-5[1])phenomenon. (10[1])The “central contradiction of capitalism,” (10[1])which holds that r exceeds g, leads to increasing levels (10[1])of this phenomenon according to Thomas Piketty. The (-5[1])size of two areas of the Lorenz (10[1])Curve are compared in a measure of (-5[1])this phenomenon, (10[2])the (10[1])Gini coefficient. (10[1])For (10[1])10 points, name this phenomenon, (10[1])the (10[2])disparity in outcomes between the rich and the poor. ■END■ (10[1])
