It may seem to readers that I talk too much about the bankers and corporate CEOs, too much about the financial crisis of 2008 and its aftermath, especially {as I'll explain} since the problems of inequality in America are of longer standing. It is not just that they have become the whipping boys of popular opinion. They are emblematic of what has gone wrong. Much of the inequality at the top is associated with finance and corporate CEOs. But it's more than that: these leaders have helped shape our views about what is good economic policy, and unless and until we understand what is wrong with those views-and how, to too large an extent, they serve their interests at the expense of the rest-we won't be able to reformulate policies to ensure a more equitable, more efficient, more dynamic economy.
