'''Income inequality''' is one aspect of economic inequality. Incomes levels can be studied through taxation records and other historical documents. ''[[Capital in the Twenty-First Century]]'' (2013) by French economist [[Thomas Piketty]] is noted for its systematic collection and review of available data, especially concerning income levels; not all aspects of historical wealth distribution are similarly attested in the available records. 

[[Economic inequality#Causes|Causes of income inequality]] and of levels of economic equality/inequality include: [[labour economics|labor economics]], [[tax policy|tax policies]], other [[economic policy|economic policies]], [[labor union]] policies, Federal Reserve [[monetary policy|monetary policies]] & fiscal policies, the [[labour market|market for labor]], abilities of individual workers, [[technology]] and [[automation]], [[education]], [[globalization]], [[gender bias]], [[racism]], and [[culture]].
