The Takeaway is continuing our conversation this week on income inequality in America. We’ve covered the Occupy movement, where inequality is a rallying cry, and we reported on a Congressional Budget Office report that highlighted the growth in uneven incomes over the last three decades.We’re taking another look at income inequality this morning, this time from a guest who says Occupy protestors are wrong to focus on income inequality. Amity Shlaes is the Director of the Bush Institute’s Four Percent Growth Project and the author of “The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression.”
