Answer 2

It is very true that In democracies growth in economy is accompanied by increase inequality. The democracy is based on political equality and not on economic equality because there is no just distribution of resources. The wealth is controlled in few hands and the growth in economy actually means their economic growth .

The rich gets richer and poor gets poorer which leads to increase in inequality. Democracies are controlled by rich and works for their interests.
