Consider the importance of the “Knowledge Economy” to this discussion. Education and entrepreneurship have had, and will continue to have, an ever growing degree of importance in the income inequality discussion. Start-ups do best when developed close to leading institutions of higher education (Silicon Valley & Stanford, Boston bio & MIT/Harvard, RTI & UNC/Duke/NC State, etc). There may be no better tool for attacking the wrongs of income inequality than a sharp, well educated mind looking for ways to do things better, cheaper, faster. The disruptions of the smart innovators are having an impact on inherited wealth that typically is invested in the industries that are being disrupted. We need to accelerate education, skills development, and life-long learning so that in the long-run the “Knowledge Economy” will help those willing to make the effort achieve their goals in ways that reduces income inequality.
