Rich-Poor Divide

An excellent article on the rationale behind addressing the rich-poor divide. Zoom in particularly on the quote: 'Inclusive growth should not just mean that everyone should be included, but that no one group should be consistently excluded.'
Connect to the following, some of which are alluded to in the article: Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street, Education, Meritocracy, Inclusive Society, Discrimination, Notion of real progress, Children enrolled in 2 kindergartens...
Sample Qns:
1) How far would you agree that the only divide worth addressing is the rich-poor divide? (VJC Prelims 2010)
2) We are devoting too much of our lives to formal education. To what extent is this true? (VJC Prelims 2010)
