In his inaugural post on his NY Times blog, Paul Krugman had a graph plotting the richest 10 percent of the American population in total income from research by Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez. Since I have posted a number of graphs based on their data I thought I would gather together some of the more relevant ones for reference:
- US Income of Top 0.1 Percent vs Marginal Tax Rate
- All Sources of Income for Top 0.01 Percent
- Income/GDP Ratio
- What does Top 1%, Top 0.1%, Top 0.01% mean?
- Breakdown of Income Share Top 1% (1917-2002)
- Breakdown of Income share Top 5% (1917-2002)
- Income share going to the richest 10% (1917-2002)
