The Promise of Access : Technology, Inequality, and the Political Economy of Hope
Why simple technological solutions to complex social issues continue to appeal to politicians and professionals who should (and often do) know better. Why do we keep trying to solve poverty with technology?What makes us feel that we need to learn to code--or else?In The Promise of Access, Daniel Greene argues that the problem of poverty became a problem of technology in order to manage the contradictions of a changing economy.Greene shows how the digital divide emerged as a policy problem and why simple technological solutions to complex social issues continue to appeal to politicians and professionals who should (and often do) know better.

Using Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation to Mitigate Wealth Inequality
Economic inequality continues to contribute to political and social instability around the world.This instability stifles development and results in widening the wealth gap between the "haves" and "have nots," further eroding stability.It has been argued that entrepreneurship is a prime contributor to this vicious cycle.Using Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation to Mitigate Wealth Inequality contends that this is only true when the opportunity for entrepreneurship is limited to a few.The authors maintain that when entrepreneurship is open to anyone who is properly motivated, innovative, and has a goal of growth for their enterprise, it helps build wealth for a greater number of people.The concept of "social entrepreneurship" is introduced, where entrepreneurship becomes a vehicle for explicitly addressing community-based economic and social challenges using markets. The book uses examples of entrepreneurial projects and programs that have attempted to address inequality to discuss entrepreneurship as an economic development strategy and its role in addressing the challenges of economic inequality.It advocates thinking and acting systemically, creating and sustaining entrepreneurial support ecosystems, in order to generate the synergy required to scale-up development and transform our economies and provides a distinctive perspective on a pressing social and economic issue, with significant implications for the future of the United States and the world.

How are social inequality and educational inequality related?
Social inequality and educational inequality are closely related as they often reinforce each other. Individuals from marginalized or disadvantaged social groups, such as low-income families or minority communities, tend to have limited access to quality education due to factors like lack of resources, discrimination, or systemic barriers. This lack of educational opportunities then perpetuates social inequality by limiting their ability to secure better jobs, higher incomes, and improved social status. Addressing educational inequality is crucial in breaking this cycle and promoting social mobility and equality.

What is inequality?
Inequality refers to the unequal distribution of resources, opportunities, and privileges among individuals or groups within a society. This can manifest in various forms, such as economic inequality, social inequality, and political inequality. It often results in disparities in income, education, healthcare, and access to basic necessities, leading to a lack of equal opportunities and outcomes for different segments of the population. Addressing inequality is crucial for creating a fair and just society where everyone has the chance to thrive and reach their full potential.

How do I solve the inequality and what is an inequality?
An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two quantities using symbols such as < (less than), > (greater than), ≤ (less than or equal to), or ≥ (greater than or equal to). To solve an inequality, you need to isolate the variable on one side of the inequality sign. You can do this by performing the same operations on both sides of the inequality, just like you would with an equation. However, if you multiply or divide by a negative number, you need to reverse the inequality sign. Once you have isolated the variable, you can determine the range of values that satisfy the inequality.

What is social inequality?
Social inequality refers to the unequal distribution of resources, opportunities, and privileges within a society. It can manifest in various forms such as income inequality, educational disparities, and unequal access to healthcare. Social inequality is often perpetuated by systemic factors such as discrimination, prejudice, and institutional barriers, leading to marginalized groups facing disadvantages and barriers to social mobility. Addressing social inequality requires systemic changes to create a more equitable society where all individuals have equal opportunities to thrive.

Geographies of Digital Exclusion : Data and Inequality
Today's urban environments are layered with data and algorithms that fundamentally shape how we perceive and move through space.But are our digitally dense environments continuing to amplify inequalities rather than alleviate them?This book looks at the key contours of information inequality, and who, what and where gets left out. Platforms like Google Maps and Wikipedia have become important gateways to understanding the world, and yet they are characterised by significant gaps and biases, often driven by processes of exclusion.As a result, their digital augmentations tend to be refractions rather than reflections: they highlight only some facets of the world at the expense of others. This doesn't mean that more equitable futures aren't possible.By outlining the mechanisms through which our digital and material worlds intersect, the authors conclude with a roadmap for what alternative digital geographies might look like.

Reflections on Inequality
Originally published in 1975, this anthology of essays focusses on the historical dimension of class inequality which has long concerned both sociologists and social philosophers but has often been neglected in literature.Although Marx is the first name to come to mind when social inequality and class struggles are mentioned, most of the authors included here precede him.Each analyses and discusses the problems of class conflict as they understood them in the light of their own times.Taken together these writers treat stratification as essentially a pecking order where position is determined by relative power – a notion which subsumes rather than contradicts the economic interpretation of social inequality because wealth is a form of power.The relation between the views of these authors and the well-known theory of Marx is discussed in the Introduction.

Is inequality really bad?
Inequality can have negative consequences for society as a whole. It can lead to social unrest, political instability, and hinder economic growth. When a small portion of the population holds a disproportionate amount of wealth and power, it can create divisions and perpetuate injustices. Addressing inequality through policies that promote equal opportunities and fair distribution of resources can lead to a more stable and prosperous society.

It can perpetuate cycles of poverty and limit social mobility, creating barriers for individuals to reach their full potential. Addressing social inequality is essential for creating a more just and equitable society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

"Is this inequality true?"
To determine if an inequality is true, you can substitute a value into the inequality and see if it holds true. For example, if the inequality is 3x + 2 > 10, you can choose a value for x, such as x = 3, and then substitute it into the inequality to see if it holds true. If 3(3) + 2 is indeed greater than 10, then the inequality is true. If not, then the inequality is false.
