Deep dives
Wealth and Income Inequality in the Economic Landscape
The increasing wealth and income inequality in the American economy stands out as one of the most pressing issues. Over the past 40 to 50 years, various economic policies have led to widening gaps between the wealthy and the lower-income population, making it essential to seek new approaches that aim to rebalance this disparity. While past tax cuts were expected to stimulate economic growth and benefit all, they have primarily exacerbated the concentration of wealth at the top. Addressing this imbalance is not only crucial for enhancing overall productivity but also for reinvigorating the economy by ensuring equitable growth that benefits all Americans.
