    While income inequality is increasing within industrialized countries, it is actually decreasing on a global scale due to globalization. This is because globalization has created opportunities for economic advancement in developing nations, leading to millions of people being lifted out of poverty. However, the increased wealth of a select few individuals in developed countries, like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, often leads to criticisms of unfairness and calls for wealth redistribution. However, countries where wealth redistribution policies have led to disastrous economic consequences, such as Uganda, Zimbabwe, and France. Instead of focusing on income redistribution, we should focus on creating an environment that fosters economic growth and opportunity, such as simplifying business licensing, promoting online education, and expanding affordable public transportation. Promoting economic freedom and opportunity is the best way to reduce poverty and create a more equitable society.
