the claim

Free markets lead to greater income inequality.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that free markets lead to greater income inequality?

Partly. One reference work states that untampered market economies often lead to greater inequality, and another treats market failure as producing inequality that welfare must offset. A separate encyclopedia entry instead suggests greater income equality boosts demand and growth, so the sources only partially address the claim and point different ways.
