And the solution would be ... ?

To bring back some the policies of 1940-1973 that were so despised by conservatives, for one thing...

I've been wondering what has changed over the last 50 years that has led to the disproportionate increase in salaries for corporate heads and upper mgmt. Obviously, the depression and WW II probably acted as dampers on salary increases during the 1940s and 1950s. But starting in the 1970s, upper mgmt salaries began to really pick up the pace, reaching full flower in the 1990s and gaining even more ground since 2000. Was it stagflation in the 1970s that prompted the change? Did tax cuts somehow have an effect? Was it the passage of Title IX and all the non discrimination legislation that led to the alienation of the white, male corporate heads so they no longer felt a stake in this country? We know that greed plays a major role, but I also think there were other things that acted as a catalyst as well.
