Here are the Gini coefficients for the US over time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gini_coefficient#US_income_Gini_indices_over_time http://en.wikipedia.org/wik

  Income is not wealth, income inequality is not wealth concentration (though perhaps could lead there).

    I was simply trying to be helpful and providing data in response to someone who wanted some on wealth distribution. I can't believe you thought providing a source to closely related data deserved a downvote. Sure, wealth and income are not the same, but they must be pretty correlated. I have read that the Gini is higher for wealth that income, but I haven't seen data for American wealth Gini coefficients over time. If you have that data, then you could be constructive and provide it.
