“Time inequality” is the world’s real problem, not income inequality
Inequality should be measured in terms of the time it takes for us to earn the money to buy the things we need. And everyone is getting wealthier.

Time is money, and the price of time is a more accurate measure of inequality than income is.
Recommendation
The metric of the price of time – the ratio of an item’s price to income generated in an hour – lends itself more readily to analysis than prices and wages, claim scholars Marian Tupy and Gale Pooley in this innovative report. They provide cogent arguments that time is a more absolute and less subjective means by which to measure changes in living standards and degrees of economic disparity among individuals and countries. Executives, analysts and students of economics will find this a thought-provoking piece.
