Fascinating discussion and data in this article (from @simonpittaway.bsky.social and @tom-clark.bsky.social), squaring the circle of why our economy is today less fair, yet wealth inequality hasn't meaningfully increased in the last ~50 years. 1/2
While the US has seen a significant rise in wealth inequality over the past 40 years, the UK has not.

This is despite UK household wealth doubling in this period.

How has this happened? And what is the impact of this extra wealth?
