It's not correct that they have continued for 40 years. In fact during teh late 90s and early 00s inequality reduced. Then the financial crash happened, a decade of tory austerity happened, brexit happened, and then covid. Nothing increases inequality like disaster and we've had to endure 4 in a decade of which one was brexit.
And actually Boromart, it is not so much the disasters but rather the response to them. They’ve all been self inflicted. Austerity as a response to the financial crash was Tory ideology on steroids and once again their policies resulted in society having their pockets pinched whilst the 1% got wealthier. That was followed by Brexit. Another heist through which the 1% are once again getting wealthier at the expense of the rest. Finally we have COVID with a response of disastrous policies and through which there has been a raid on the public purse, pouring millions and millions into the wealthiest. They keep showing us who they are. About time we listened.
