4. What is the optimal income distribution between two citizens under these three assumptions: -The Social Welfare Function is Utilitarian. - The total income is fixed. - The two citizens have the same individual utility function, which exhibits decreasing but positive marginal utility of income. What are the implications of this result and why we do not see policies to enforce this degree of income distribution in the real world? Justify your answer mentioning one or more of the three...
