>But economic inequality per se is not bad. It has multiple causes. Many are bad, but some are good.
This shows the confusion of the original essay, and this response.
There is the thesis, "economic equality is not bad", and then the support for the thesis, "some drivers of inequality are bad, some are good" that doesn't actually support it.
Saying that some things that concentrate wealth are not bad overall does nothing to shed light on whether vast disparities of wealth between classes of people is beneficial for a society.
