He notes past uses of that path, the reasons it succeeded in 2016, and why it may again be possible though unlikely.

Do we cheer inequality decline or not
Tyler Cowen argues that falling income inequality in the West has not yielded obvious societal gains and may come with downsides such as reduced charitable giving and fewer ambitious tech projects. He questions whether the decline reflects improved well being or merely lower wealth concentration, urging focus on reducing absolute poverty instead. Cowen notes uncertainty about continued inequality reduction and calls for cautious policy outlook.
