Robert Reich: [View all]

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025.

The top 1% now control .8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?
