Attitudes towards the rich

   People all around the world complain about the wealth divide in the world and they preach for economic equality except in former ussr countries. Here in post-soviet countries the idea of equality means going back to the bad times. They have seen what it did to their economies and how it essentially doesnt work and they are speaking out to their governments.

  • Total financial equality is socialism
  • post-soviet countries were crushed by this idea
  • killed several markets
  • there needs to be a minimum divide at least in the market place.
I found this article on the Global issues in context database and the title is Attitudes to income equality: the 'socialist legacy' revisited.

Would you choose equality or not?

  1. if there is equality, then we are rewarding the lazy people. everyone should be required to earn the money and other things they have.

  2. I feel that you couldn't have found a better picture to represent your topic. This picture really helped me to visualize the differences between these forms of government.
