Editor's Notes

  1. Crash in incomes in the top percentile due to WWI, stock market crash, great depression and WWII. Note that Sweden did not crash too much (neutral) Australia and NZ recover quickly due to increases in raw materials post WWII High shares in early 1900s due to lack of progressive taxation during the 1800s. Progressive taxation kept things low until the 1980s for Anglo countries
