Persistent income inequality and increasing income inequality do not
resonate in the US unless the prevailing political ideology allows for
income redistribution via taxation, social welfare programs, etc. Such
an ideology prevailed during the 1970s but lost currency in 1980, with
the election of Ronald Reagan, and has not returned since. It could
change but so far it hasn't.
BTW, I think that SDOH is broader than income inequality, though as an
economist, I think that economic inequalities are fundemental to
differential SDOH and to differential health outcomes.
Cheers.

Subject: The eradication of income inequality
Dear friends
A bath-time an 'ah, ha!' moment.
Is the phrase 'income inequality' one that might carry the SDOH,
abolition of poverty, etc, message better/best of all?
Thus, the titled objective, rather than the present circumstance of
'managed income inequality', 'maintained income inequality', 'entrenched
income inequality', etc.
Any thoughts?
Hope so!
hugs
john
