Ever growing inequality

 From NewProgressUSA


In the 50s and 60s and 70s, real incomes for all quintiles grew at roughly the same pace.  From the 80s onwards, as the dogmas of neo-liberalism took root, real incomes for the already better-off and the rich grew faster (or fell by less) than the lowest quintiles.  Chart doesn't have 2010-2020 data, but from other indicators, this pattern hasn't changed.
