  I find these charts interesting but don't buy the tie to ending Breton Woods. Society was just as capable of extreme inequality under a gold standard. See the Gilded Age. Globalization and the IT revolution also happened in the same time frame, and have contributed to inequality via much more obvious mechanisms.

    This is very long but it goes into a well thought-out theory for why and how this happened. Very interesting stuff. Well worth a watch. https://youtu.be/1gEz__sMVaY https://youtu.be/1gEz__sMVaY

      Anything other than one person's video? Videos take a long time to watch, and longer still to ferret out and check out cited evidence for the claims (if there is any).
