Both essays "Why the Rich are Getting Richer and the Poor, Poorer" and " The Upside of Income Inequality" are very useful. Robert Reich, Gary Becker and Kevin Murphy are all researchers with knowledge to share. Each one of these essays talk about the income inequality that we have in the United States. Even though they both are talking about the same thing each author has their own specific point of views that they focus on in their essays. Gary Becker and Kevin Murphy main focus is on education. They have many graphs the depict the situations happening with income inequality. They make the graphs so easy to read that anyone could follow it just by looking at it. They also have these major aspects on African American and women. I found this odd that they had their own section on it but its what ever. Robert Reich had more of a direct approach in his essay. It seemed a little more objective to everything. He is more set on things in the past more than in the future. He has a more historical aspect on life. Each and every one of these authors clearly have the skills and qualifications to right about these issues. They all wrote a little bit about themselves in the beginning of there essays to show their skills and qualifications.

comparing both essay's, "The Upside of income inequality" and "Why the Rich are Getting Richer and the Poor, Poorer", they each have a distinct way of communicating. Both essays have a serious tone and both authors are advocating for their point of view. Both essays use data collected throughout the years and the steady fall and increases we've seen through the years. They both aim at minorities and talk about the dropout rate still being the same as it's always been in high school. Also how college graduates making well over 50% more money than high school grads.
