Example 4 
High income 
earners 
account for only a small proportion of the total population 
across countries. There are supporting voices saying that this is 
beneficial
to the 
country while others believe that governments should restrict high income. Both 
arguments have their reasoning and, in my opinion, governments should not cap the 
income but take other actions to mitigate the imbalance.
The concentration of wealth on a small number of people has its advantages. Firstly, 
in a free trade
market the capital will usually flow to the most efficient section of the 
economy which explains the concentration of wealth. This phenomenon although 
seems to be unfair, is actually a
n
efficient asset allocation for the society as a whole. 
Secondly, a theory called "economy of 
scale
" suggests that large-scale 
company/industry can provide cheaper goods and services to people than small-size 
companies. Therefore, the concentration of resources and wealth actually lower
s
the 
cost of living for medium-to-low income people. 
The quality of living for most people may be reduced by this concentration of wealth. 
In this era of social media, people are better informed and keep comparing 
themselves 
with others. Thus there can be more conflict and 
dissatisfaction due
to 
the imbalance of income level, reducing the stability of society and increasing the 
crime rates. In addition, people may feel unhappy when they acknowledge this 
"unfairness" of income allocation, which will reduce their feeling of happiness. 
However, instead of set
ting
restriction
s
on the income level which may prevent the 
economy from running efficiently, 
the 
government can charge higher tax on the high-
income people, enhance social 
welfare
, and improve infrastructure to mitigate the 
imbalance.
