The value of their holdings may be down but the top 1% still own the bottom 95%.

Except the wealth pie isn't static, so stats like this are utterly meaningless.

What about the wealth gap under stalinism and the rampant corruption :P
Also doesn't that figure also sortof depend on how many ceo's there are. Just because there are less companies around so they ceo's get payed a bit more doesn't make workers worse off. Number of CEO's in that graph and test conditions (is there a minimum size of a company for a ceo to be concidere a ceo?) are required to be able to judge this effectively.

So are you implying there is no increasing wealth gap? I didn't conduct the study, so I am not the one to ask about how the study was done. Nonetheless, I think the study was well done, conducted with academic diligence.

Well your NKVD already killed the guy in my avatar (I bet you don't event know who he is
and it's abundantly clear from my arguments that I'm neither capitalist nor a pig. Unless ofcourse you're one of those anarchists who think's the POUM were "fascists in disuguise"

Well I'm not sure, I'm just unsure of the interpretation of statistics so something like that I'm wary of.
How on Earth...? Oh, well, if you're not a bot, please reply to this message and say something about Uzbekistan that makes sense. If you ignore this message and continue posting, I'm going to conclude you're indeed a bot.
