summary

In this essay, Paul Graham discusses the topic of inequality and its implications. He argues that the perception of inequality is often driven by envy, and that a certain level of inequality is natural and necessary for society to function properly. Graham suggests that instead of focusing solely on reducing inequality, society should prioritize creating opportunities for upward mobility. He also explores the relationship between inequality and innovation, suggesting that a certain level of inequality motivates individuals to take risks and contribute to economic growth. The essay provides a thought-provoking perspective on the complex issue of inequality and its role in society.
