Inequalities have been growing not just between countries of the world but within individual countries as well. Within the United States, the incomes of the bottom 60 percent of households have stagnated during the past twenty-five years, whereas the rich have continued to pull ahead. In the mid -1960s, the ratio between the income of the top chief executive officers of American corporations and the wage of the average production worker was 39 to 1. In 1997, the CEO-worker ratio was 254.1. (Kawachi and Kennedy, p. 5)
