From World War to Class War: The Rebound of the Rich
Robert G. Evans

Abstract:
Incomes in Canada, as in many other countries, are becoming increasingly
unequal. In North America this process has several notable features. First,
after 40 years of stability, income has since 1980 been increasingly
concentrated in the hands of the top 0.01% of earners. Second, this
concentration correlates with an explosion in the relative earnings of
corporate CEOs, a sort of "corporate kleptocracy." Third, the top earners
have appropriated most of the productivity gains over this period. The
resources and political influence of the super-rich underlie the growing
prominence of the "elite" agenda: lower taxes, smaller government and
privatization or shrinkage of social programs. The marketing of this agenda
may explain much of the nonsense that contaminates health policy debates.
