"Our outrage at inequality is primal. But primal……" — Sendhil Mullainathan
"Our outrage at inequality is primal. But primal emotions are not always noble ones. Of course, when I see a colleague receive some award, I covet it. But this is not me at my best, and these are not the feelings we would instill and promote in our children."
