Reganomics, the end of Breton Woods, the end of the "Gold Standard", "Stagflation", "Peak Oil", population growth, immigration, greying population, healthcare, welfare, tax cuts, globalization, capitalism, communism. Oh don't mind me, just pulling excuses out of my ass. I love posts like these and I especially love their graphs. Less so for the (little) content they contain. More so for people's reactions to the content. Its confirmation bias bait all the way down! I don't mean to be so negative and critical. I'm just tired of people trying to explain the state of the world from a single graph! Income inequality could be increasing for different reasons at different times. It might not be increasing at all (depending on how you define income)! --- Let's stop drooling over graphs and have an actual conversation about the "problem". Who am I richer than and why? Who is richer than me and why? Maybe if we answer these questions we can solve income inequality (assuming we still want to solve it all).
