Economic inequality can give wealthier people an unacceptable degree of control over the lives of others.
•i.e. ownership of a public media outlet, such as a newspaper or a television channel, can give control over how others in the society view themselves and their lives, and how they understand their society.
•Economic inequality can undermine the fairness of political institutions.
•i.e. If those who hold political offices must depend on large contributions for their campaigns, they will be more responsive to the interests and demands of wealthy contributors, and those who are not rich will not be fairly represented.
