Problems caused by ‘Deck Stacking” and unequal distribution of wealth

Those who seek to address problems caused by ‘Deck Stacking” and unequal distribution of wealth must tackle the problem of exactly how to do that. While many wealthy people practice philanthropy (the desire to promote the welfare of others, expressed especially by the generous donation of money to good causes), other wealthy people feel they have earned their wealth and intend to keep it to themselves. We will explore this ethical dilemma more next week. For the purposes of this assignment, you will consider the very different views of mandating distribution of wealth from those that have to those that have not.
