Until you brought this up I had no idea Obama put this much thought into economy and wealth inequality, it certainly doesn't show in his policies. I do not own his book, I never read it and up until now wasn't curious about it. I always assumed his book was a tearjerker about him growing up in poverty with a single mom.

First time I encountered this graph was when I read the study. My old job had full access to any paywalled or free scientific article, plus lots of military studies (but I can't talk about it other than in general terms) that I spent a lot of time reading while waiting for the numbers to get crunched through by the mainframe. It didn't had anything to do with my work, but considering that I was allowed to read articles and not allowed to access internet or news sites that what I did for 2+ years during downtime.
