In varying degrees, it\u2019s been the same pattern in other countries.\u00a0The economy has been changing, and new forces are causing inequality to feed on itself.<\/p>\n<p itemprop=\"articleBody\" data-para-count=\"440\" data-total-count=\"1354\">One is that the higher incomes of top earners have been shifting consumer demand in favor of goods whose value stems from the talents of other top earners. Because the wealthy have just about every possession anyone might need, they tend to spend their extra income in pursuit of something special. And, often, what makes goods special today is that they\u2019re produced by people or organizations whose talents can\u2019t be duplicated easily.\u00a0Wealthy people don\u2019t choose just any architects, artists, lawyers, plastic surgeons, heart specialists or cosmetic dentists. They seek out the best, and the most expensive, practitioners in each category. The information revolution has greatly increased their ability to find those practitioners and transact with them. So as the rich get richer, the talented people they patronize get richer, too. Their spending, in turn, increases the incomes of other elite practitioners, and so on.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Why it becomes harder and harder to make an ordinary living from painting.
