Piketty, in his book, makes the case that the rich constantly get richer using a graph that illustrates that it has increased steadily in the United States over the last half-century.

In a free society with minimal government interventionism, and a growing division of labor,when the rich get richer, so do the wage earners.In this type of economic system, a growing body of technological knowledge, manifested in ever improved tools and machines, and in man's growing power over the physical world in which he lives, makes possible a continuous increase in the sum total of what is produced. When the total of what can be produced expands, it is simply false to conclude that greater wealth of the rich implies the greater poverty of the poor.
