You made a much better case than I thought you could.

But I wonder: Will higher interest rates mean less income inequality? Or just income inequality still increasing, but increasing more slowly?

That is, is ZIRP the cause, or just one of the causes?

It's hard to predict the future. All I can say is that these are forces pushing in various directions, creating tendencies. Personally, I would say ZIRP is a factor in income inequality, but not the only one. There are others:

- monetary policy

- trade policy

- labor policy

- patent and copyright policy

- even foreign policy
