Abstract

A sharp drop in the wage share in GDP in the UK since the 1980s has been accompanied by a jump in income share of the top 1 per cent. Rather than migration or technological change, increased capital mobility, decline in collective bargaining, labour market deregulation, austerity and rising household debt are to blame.
