The Rise of Corporate Inequality

Stanford economist Nicholas Bloom discusses the research he's
conducted showing what’s really driving the growth of income
inequality: a widening gap between the most successful companies
and the rest, across industries. In other words, inequality has
less to do with what you do for work, and more to do with which
specific company you work for. The rising gap in pay between firms
accounts for a large majority of the rise in income inequality
overall. Bloom tells us why, and discusses some ways that companies
and governments might address it. He’s the author of the Harvard
Business Review article, “Corporations in the Age of Inequality.”
