This video is very dramatic and easy to follow. Its findings seem in the ballpark with other such information I've seen.
Nevertheless, I did poke around to make sure they were consistent with what others have found. At the bottom are some links to others which show, at least roughly, a similar distribution.
The video is short and to the depressing point. This is why billionaires have worked to hard to capture the Supreme Court. So that we can't meddle with this reality.
Here are some other studies of Inequality:

- The Council on Foreign Relations - The US Inequality Debate Below is on of their charts. It's interactive in the article at the link.
- US Census: Income Inequality Visualizations
- European Central Bank - ECB publishes new statistics on the distribution of household wealth

ReplyDeleteI did watch the first episode of 3 Body Problem and I did wonder what they were doing in London. But it's pretty intense/complex so we've held off a bit before going to the next episode. But I'm not sure why you put the link on this post which doesn't mention the show. I did write about the book back in 2016.
