Whither income inequality?

[JA]

Perhaps they'd write about it if they felt that it directly affected them. Without question even they are affected by its side-effects, but nowhere near the degree, the working class has. Climate change, social justice, environmentalism, and so on, while unquestionably critical issues carry the advantage of being "cool." Discussing income inequality simply isn't going to win you kudos from your progressive peers or social "superiors." Not to mention I doubt the wealthy owners of increasingly monopolized media outlets are too keen on such talk.
