"Over the past 30 years, the benefits of economic growth in Canada, the US
and much of the rest of the world, have gone increasingly to the top one
percent of the population. For the majority of families, however, incomes
have stagnated. This rise in inequality coincided with a sea change in
government policy. Beginning in the 1980s, governments in much of the
English-speaking world embarked on what has been called the neoliberal
revolution - deregulation, privatization and tax cuts, aimed at liberating
markets and stimulating the economy. The rising tide was supposed to lift
all boats, but it didn't. *Jill Eisen* explores what happened."
