"Roberts is a Libertarian who has recently begun to doubt the ability of the economics profession to separate ideological bias from its research. He recognizes that income inequality exists but questions how it is quantified. He is also highly skeptical that today’s income inequality in of itself has a direct impact on the real economy."
