Archive - Wealth, Poverty and Income Inequality 

Magnum Photographers 

Income inequality has continued to grow every since the 1970s. Despite the extremely high total GDP of the US, it ranks 10th in GDP per capita. The US ranks among the bottom 30% of nations in terms of income inequality.
In clear terms, elected officials are divided over how to address the issue: Democrats have traditionally favored notions of shared growth and prosperity while Republicans have retained a pro-capital stance against redistribution.
