The graphs, in the paper, highlighs income inequality in both the US and the UK being significantly ahead of other leading countries.
Personally, I believe that income inequality has become more acute since the financial crisis of 2008. The wealthy have seen their wealth rebound since 2008 but the working and middle classes have been severely squeezed by excessive austerity.
Any thoughts?
