Fantasy that also provides commentary on wealth inequality
Are there any books or series that do this? I've been thinking about doing it myself if no one else has. For example, what if elves live longer because they have better diets, healthcare etc?

The Jade City series by Fonda Lee
The hands of the emperor by Victoria Goddard.
Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels comment heavily on wealth inequality. Guards! Guards! is a good place to start.
Blood Over Bright Haven — it’s not a high recommend for me, but I liked it. It’s a darker side of inequality.
The Scholomance trilogy is all about this!
