Tania Sousa writes:

4) Inequality is important because the higher the inequality (between countries or within a country) the higher the average affluence needed to take people out of poverty. Can you add a subchapter on inequality?

In the .pdf, she also wrote:

What about inequality? Inequality between countries and between people within the same country. The higher the inequality, the higher the average affluence needed to take people out of poverty.

I think Tania is right here. Inequality is part of the social leg of the sustainability triangle. I think adding a paragraph or section about inequality would be beneficial.

Where to put it? in chapter 1 (where we talk about the social piece), in the population chapter, or in the affluence chapter (where it would seem a more logical fit)?
