Here is another article on the gap between the rich and everyone else over the last 30 years.

This data is agreed by most economists to be robust, but there is a wide range of responses about what to do about it if anything, ranging from Piketty's proposal for a global redistribution of wealth via a wealth tax to encouraging the creation of more small businesses, to simply allowing the free enterprise system to continue to function as it is.
