Abstract

In Chapter 4, I examine the general trend in the orientation of laws and institutions and income inequality in the United States from the mid-1930s through the 1970s. I show that laws were made more inclusive and the income share of the top 1 percent decreased. I then explore some explanations for why we have such a mixed record of ameliorating income inequality in the United States when our political system is based on equality. Finding these explanations lacking, the chapter ends in suspense.
