What is the utilitarianism

Reference no: EM131500067

Question: "I don't care how rich the very rich are. I care if they became rich in an unethical way, or if they use their riches in a particularly vulgar or revolting way. I wouldn't mind if they lost [their wealth] or had it taxed away. But I don't mind if they keep it either. But I do find poverty of the very poor unlovely. That condition deserves, in my opinion, our most intensive care. I believe that the present focus on inequality of income diverts national attention from it" [Stein, 1996, p. A14]. Do you agree with this statement? Is it consistent with utilitarianism?
