By Naomi Fowler: If
you ever believed that the inequality levels we’re seeing today in most
so-called developed economies are inevitable, not so very remarkable,
and not as extreme as some might have us believe, economists Thomas
Piketty, Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman have produced a graph that
demonstrates the problem, well, rather graphically in the New York Times.
TruePublica Editor: Apologies in advance for the
quality of images/graphs, however, they do give an idea of what
neoliberal capitalism has really succeeded in the most – consistently
raising inequality, which is decimating the poor and middle classes
across both America and Britain. Read on for the truly depressing result
of Thatcher’s real legacy, no better demonstrated than the financial
crash that lingers on a decade later.
