We went all the way from the Guilded Age of extreme wealth inequality in the late 19th century and the turn of the 20th century all the way to the period of maximum working class wealth and equality during the 1950's to 1970's. But now, unfortunately, the wheel has again come full circle, and we're back at Guilded Age conditions of extreme wealth inequality again. It's the revolving merry-go-round (or maybe not-so-merry-go round) of history, folks!
