Abstract
In this paper, I develop a general theory of inequality both within and across nations. By inequality, I mean both income inequality and asset inequality. The causes of inequality include political (institutions, democracy), economic (capitalism, development), and social (culture, corruption) factors. Then I test my theory by developing a statistical model utilizing a cross-national panel data set encompassing over fifty countries. I conclude based on my findings and suggest potential avenues of future research on inequality.
