I'm not claiming you are wrong but inequality may not be tied to prosperity directly.

For example, I have £10,000,000 and all the people on my street only have £1000,000. That's high inequality.

Someone in rural china has RMB 2,000, the rest of the village has RMB 1,000

Much less inequality but I'd prefer the former to the latter.
