Despite the US’s economic success, income inequality remains breathtaking. But this is no glitch – it’s the system

    Wait The Guardian doing Chinese propaganda?

    This is not to congratulate China for its authoritarian government, for its repression of minorities or for the iron fist it deploys against any form of dissent. But it merits pondering how this undemocratic government could successfully slash its poverty rate when the richest and oldest democracy in the world wouldn’t.

    Oh okay, everything is normal.
