Dan Ariely reveals that society doesn’t desire to walk the walk when it comes to equality. He also reveals just how ignorant we really are when we talk the talk of equality. Perhaps the most disturbing part of the presentation is the point where Ariely reveals just how inequitable things really are and how out of scale CEO compensation is compared to the average worker.
Ariely didn’t comment on why we are so tolerant of this inequality so I must speculate. Is that so many of us are holding out for that huge windfall or opportunity that will enable us to have a piece of that top 1%, the top 10% or even a move up to the next level?
Consider for yourself…
