As I said, I’ve thought about this a little bit so I believe I can make a pretty convincing argument for the usefulness of inequality based on what we all learned from the game Monopoly. You see, the point of the game is to either own all the property or have all the money. Essentially you want your, opponents to be so broke that they can’t trade with you anymore and that, my friend, is a microcosm of what we call the Pareto distribution.
