In many developed nations, the distribution of income has become increasingly unequal over the past few decades. For example, between 1985 and 2015, the Gini coefficient for disposable income in the United States rose from approximately 0.34 to 0.39, while in Germany it increased from 0.25 to nearly 0.29 over a similar period.
Evaluate the view that market forces, such as technological change and globalisation, are the primary causes of rising income inequality. Refer to a developed economy of your choice in your answer.
