StellarInequality
Congratulations on reaching the final section of AP Microeconomics! Throughout this course, we’ve examined how markets allocate resources, maximize utility, and respond to inefficiencies. Now, we turn to one of the most significant and enduring challenges of market economies: inequality.
While markets efficiently allocate goods and services based on supply and demand, they often lead to unequal distributions of income and wealth. This section explores how inequality is measured, the tools governments use to address it, and the trade-offs involved in pursuing greater equity.
