Assess the effect of political economy theories and methodologies on the relationships between states, governments, markets, and societies.

As many of the Readings in this unit explain, inequality is growing in the west. Thinkers from as long ago as Aristotle stated that a polity cannot exist without a strong middle-class. After reading the articles in this about growing inequality in the U.S., as well as the Readings regarding some of the theoretical aspects of political economy in late capitalism, create a 5–7 page memo that outlines the following:

Identify possible causes of growing economic and/or inequality.
Evaluate how different political philosophies discussed in the Readings might address the problem of inequality. You are to choose at least two political philosophies. The choice should be based on your Reading and be decided by you independently.
Synthesize the above-discussed possible solutions and recommend a publically administered policy that might mitigate economic and/or political inequality. Make sure you address any potential principle/agent issues that might arise in administering your program.
Utilize any combination of narrative, formulas, and charts to convey your response in the memo. Use APA style for references outside of the memo and add a Referenccixes page if necessary.
