The Second Theory of Relativity

1. There is a relentless tendency towards monopoly and consolidation of wealth that lead to rising inequality in the present time. Inequality- specifically, awareness of inequality- kills. Studies show that relative poverty- how much poorer you are than your societal peers- is strongly correlated to mental illness, including depression. Of course, you can find a study to support just about anything. Being poor doesn't bum people out. Being poorer than others does. Mali, Bangladesh and Afghanistan are poor countries. Yet their income disparity is low, similar to those of Germany and the Scandinavian countries.
