After spending the better part of several days reading research papers, articles, excerpts of books and reviews / critiques of books devoted to income inequality, I've decided that I'm not wading into this topic on a finance blog. Even exhaustive data collection and analysis - e.g by Thomas Piketty and his collaborators in the first part of "Capital in the Twenty-First Century" - becomes hopelessly confounded by rather improbable leaps of economic theory and relentless political grandstanding.
I apologize for abandoning the topic after promising a summary, but frankly its too stomach churning to navigate the political agendas on both sides. If you want to move forward on your own, godspeed.
