Eric, good post and nice charts...and,
no arm wrestle here, but I thought that
one of the subtle topics of the article
was in the vein of your closing paragraph:
"The end result is that an increase in one person's wealth goes hand-and-hand with a decrease in someone else's wealth. The more wealth those on top have, the less wealth everyone else will have. If you look at statistics from the last 30 years, you will find that the global economy has followed this trend. The wealthiest people continue to get wealthier while the poor today are much poorer than they were."
Unless I misread my pasted art., or missed the boat, I think that's one
point the writer was getting at, espc. via some of the quoted economists
he used.
