Drawing on the Canadian experience, he explains why a yawning gap between the very rich and the rest should be cause for civic anxiety in the United States...and what can be done about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eFigures and Tables\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1.
