Richard Epstein, the Peter and Kirsten Bedford Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution and the Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law at New York University Law School, discussed economic inequality with PBS news correspondent Paul Solmen in Making Sense. In Epstein’s view, inequality in a free market system may be an incentive for people to create wealth. “If in fact it turns out that inequality creates an incentive for people to produce and create wealth, it’s a wonderful force for innovation,” Epstein states.
