Wealth inequality in the USA today is worse than 1789 France https://populareconomics.substack.com/p/is-wealth-inequality...

Wealth inequality is largely irrelevant outside of limited goods like real estate. The poorest today live lives that much more closely resemble the lives of the wealthiest of today than was the case even 100 years ago. Access (to resources, shelter, entertainment, etc) inequality is far lower than in the past. Social inequality is lower than ever before. 50-60 years ago the US was still de jure racially segregated in many places.
