Is this data on the world or USA? Where would you suggest I research more information on income inequality pre and post great depression?
These data are only for the United States, but it is also true across countries that places with higher union membership tend to have lower inequality and vice versa. I cover these trends in more detail in my book “Letter to the One Percent,” which is always my first recommendation, particularly for the type of historical account you’re looking for.
