This is not a chart that generates confidence in future political and social stability. It looks like the jaws of a Great White ready to bite someone in the arse.
Clearly a contributing factor in the rise of populism and anti-elitism, and 2016’s political Black Swan. It will only get worse during the Trump administration and then we suspect the country will soon make a hard left turn. Stay tuned.

There’s a long term chart of income inequality in the US showing that the share of income of the top 1% or 10% is back to 1929 high levels vis a vis the bottom 90%. It then declined for about 50 years. I think we’re facing the same thing going forward including a prolonged period of stagnation/depression (a la Japan).
