1. Provide your first impression of Gans' argument. Do you agree or disagree with it? What parts, if any, do you find problematic?
2. Does Gans imply that we cannot have a harmonious and functioning society without poverty? In the absence of poverty, would all of social necessities disappear? Or would they be replaced?
