Forces Behind the Rise in Inequality

Branko L Milanovic - 5 Powerful Forces Driving Inequality
Milanovic notes:
“There are five specific forces to consider:
  • The increasing share of national income that accrues to owners of capital;
  • Very high and rising concentration of incomes from capital;
  • People holding high-paying jobs also often have high capital income;
  • The tendency of high-income individuals to marry each other; and
  • The rising political power of the rich.”
