This article’s chronology is off a bit. It compares current income inequality to 1928. But 1928 was not part of the Gilded Age. 1870-1900 is usually the period known as the Gilded Age.
Aside from that anachronism, I used the exact same term to describe where we’re at just a few weeks ago.
- moate 8y agoYes, and it's too bad because the irony of pointing out that the 20's were part of the so-called "Progressive Era" despite having robber barons and such horrible inequity is really too good IMO.
