Inequality is far harder to explain than most people realize.Over the past century, few social issues have received more attention thaninequality. An enormous amount has been written about inequality in manyforms: income, political power, class, status, race, ethnicity, age, gender, andmore.
Such injustice often stems from unfair procedures, and involves political systems in which some but not others are allowed to have voice and representation in the processes and decisions that affect them.[5] This sort of procedural injustice can contribute to serious social problems as well as political ones. If voting or litigation procedures, for example, are perceived to be unjust, any outcome they produce is liable to be unstable and produce conflict.[6]
