This publication consists of two essays on social inequality and an interview conducted with non-conformist professor of economics. All three contributions were published in 2013 with "Newtopiamagazine" (and can be viewed there in the archives section), an online venture that functions as a place where a versatile group of individuals express their views and experiences within a structure of respected peers. These three articles are brought together here in a format that allows the reader to access them as a unit. Featuring an explanatory introduction and two bonus short commentaries at the end.
