The Gap Between the Rich and the Very Rich Is Widening

Original: The Gap Between the Rich and the Very, Very Rich Is Getting Wider https://www.wsj.com/economy/the-gap-between-the-rich-a

The Wall Street Journal reports that the divide between ordinary wealthy households and the ultra-rich is growing, with gains at the very top increasingly outpacing the rest of the affluent tier. The piece examines how assets like stocks and private businesses are concentrating wealth among a small group, even as broader measures of inequality between rich and middle-class households receive more attention.

Why now: Concerns over extreme wealth concentration and its economic and political consequences are a recurring public debate.
