Two Nations Joined at the Hip by English ... and Inequity.

- Abstract
If progressives in the United States could somehow cut our current gap between CEO and worker pay by a hefty three-quarters, would the USA rate as a relatively equal nation? Simply put: Political decisions have driven the UK and the USA down the road to ever-greater economic inequity, and, to a remarkable extent, as Stewart Lansley shows in his just-published The Richer, the Poorer: How Britain Enriched the Few and Failed the Poor, the USA and the UK have marched down this road in an eerie political sync. Indeed, if Corporate America's pay gap suddenly plunged by three-quarters, workplaces in the USA would be no more "equal" than workplaces in the UK, one of the industrial world's most unequal nations.
