You are right, apologies. This was the article I was referring to: https://ourworldindata.org/how-has-income-inequality-within-countries-evolved-over-the-past

  The argument you appear to being attempting to support is: > Global inequality is actually decreasing (potentially at the expense of Americans). The link you have [1] states that "While the steep rise of inequality in the United States is well-known, long-run data on the incomes of the richest shows countries have followed a variety of trajectories." Also, "high and rising inequality is not an inevitability; it’s something that individual countries can influence". This does not say anything about a global trend. This support nothing except that counties can influence inequality levels.
