I won"t be modest. I am gratified to discover that a paper I penned on inequality made its way into Matt Miller"s Washington Post column last week.

He agrees with my verdict: that access to【C3】______ goods among the least well-off has ensured that material inequality is not as【C4】______ as income inequality. 【C5】______ modern conveniences have taken some of the【C6】______ out of a relatively small income. This in turn has【C7】______ the drive to seek causes of and cures for【C8】______ "s discomfort. So the gap between rich and poor is sometimes less【C9】______, even if it is great and growing. Day-to-day experience is mostly a matter of our【C10】______ circumstances, and if those are【C11】______ enough, a widening gap in income, consumption or wealth is【C12】______ to come often to our attention. Even if the abstract fact of rising inequality does come across our radar, it may【C13】______ our sense of justice only if we"ve become convinced that inequality itself is【C14】______, or if we face related catastrophes. When I wrote the paper, official measures of income inequality had increased a good deal over the past few decades【C15】______ consumption inequality seemed to have remained【C16】______ New research suggests that consumption inequality has been increasing with income inequality【C17】______.
