Opinion on Rockefeller Wealth Boosts Inequality
In Newsweek Bill Moyers argues Rockefeller's career highlights stark wealth gaps. He cites 1958 data showing 1.5 percent owned 30.2 percent of wealth and 24 percent of income, and 1968 figures showing the richest 10 percent earned more than the bottom half. Since then, wealth concentration has grown while lower groups share shrinks.
