The Architect of Inequality: How the Wealth Gap Was Built | Bretton Woods, Reagan & Thatcher How did the modern wealth gap become so extreme? This analysis traces the rise of economic inequality from the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in the 1970s to the emergence of neoliberal economic policies. Explore how stagflation, deregulation, high interest rates, tax cuts, union-busting, and corporate consolidation reshaped the global economy. The discussion examines the influence of Paul Volcker, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and institutions such as the IMF, arguing that the shift from labor-focused economics toward capital ownership helped create today’s concentration of wealth. Was rising inequality an inevitable outcome of economic change—or the result of deliberate political choices? And could those choices be reversed? #WealthInequality #EconomicInequality #WealthGap #BrettonWoods #Neoliberalism #Economics #Capitalism #EconomicHistory #RonaldReagan #MargaretThatcher #PaulVolcker #IMF #Deregulation #Austerity #TaxCuts #UnionBusting #CorporatePower #Finance #Politics
