Yes truly. Especially since most classically trained economists don't tend to believe that income inequality actually matters, and those that do, tend to argue it only matters because people think it matters.

My bigger concern about the first chapter is that income inequality is actually a very advanced topic. That requires a lot of technical analysis. At the very least you have to discuss the concept of power laws which income distributions fit quite well, and is exactly what I would expect without direct government intervention. Making it the first section of the first chapter, really trivializes the topic.
