A nation's citizens often dislike the economy's distribution of income. Explain two methods for creating a more equal distribution of income

One method is to override the market distribution to force a more equal distribution of incomes. A second method, that is used to varying degrees in virtually all of the private-enterprise economies, is to use transfer payments, sums of money that individuals receive from the government without providing any goods or services in return. By taxing wealthier individuals and giving transfer payments to poorer individuals, a more equal distribution of after-tax income may be achieved.
