There is little evidence that high levels of income inequality lead down a slippery slope to the destruction of democracy and rule by the rich. The unequal political voice of the poor can be addressed only through policies that actually work to fight poverty and improve education. Income inequality is a dangerous distraction from the real problems: poverty, lack of economic opportunity, and systemic injustice.
Mr Wilkinson makes some good points. He's right, for instance, in noting that inequality of human welfare in America is not at all like it was decades ago; for all their additional wealth, the rich live much the same existence as the poor—replete with refrigerated food, moving picture entertainment, and mobile phone communications. He's correct that excessive concern with inequality-as-measured-by-national statistics leads to poor judgments on matters like immigration, which is one of the great mechanisms for reducing inequality available.
But there are shortcomings in the piece. A number of the measures Mr Wilkinson uses to show that recent growth in inequality has not been particularly bad reveal less than that. He cites statistics on equality of happiness from Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers and acknowledges that happiness inequality has grown since the 1990s but doesn't seem to reflect on whether that might be a looming issue. He cites recent work from Christian Broda and John Romalis on diverging inflation rates across income levels, which suggests that recent Chinese economic growth, which resulted in heavy imports of cheap goods, was very good for low-income consumers. But as I argued last spring, China's role in the economy is likely shifting from deflationary to inflationary, which may begin to undo these gains; rising prices for energy and food, among other things, will disproportionately affect lower income households.

"Generally speaking, objective historians behave in all of the following ways except that "D. they interpret the evidence according to their personal beliefs and values" since this is not being objective."
