Indeed, the upper 10 of income recipients pay more than 50 of aggregate income tax revenue, and the upper 20 pays about 80 , while 40 of income recipients pay no income taxes whatsoever.

By these criteria, Argentina became an upper middle income country all the way back in 1970, and then spent 40 years stuck in that category before reaching high income status in 2010.

A recent paper by economists from Bard College and the Asian Development Bank categorizes the world economy according to four groups with the top two categories occupied by upper middle income and high income countries and tracks countries movements in and out of these groups. Which countries were stuck for the longest period in the upper middle income category before moving to high income?

One negative consequence is the persistent deepening of income inequality. The Gini coefficient of per capita income has surpassed 50 (with 100 representing maximal inequality), putting China in the upper quartile of inequality worldwide.

I moved to mainland China in 1979, when the country's per capita income was less than one third of Sub Saharan Africa's. Today, China has become an upper middle income country, and it is on track to become a high income country by 2020.

The tradable side of advanced economies has not generated any real net increases in employment for at least two decades, while the jobs that it has created are concentrated in the upper income and upper education ranges, with employment declining in the middle and lower range of income and education. Growth in high end services employment is matched by contraction in high employment components of manufacturing supply chains.

Correcting for variations in the cost of living across countries, the paper concludes that 10,750 of purchasing power in the year 1990 is the threshold for per capita income beyond which a country is high income, while 7,250 makes it upper middle income. (These thresholds may sound low, but the World Bank uses similar cutoffs.)

In some European countries, where income inequality has remained in check, this has been a component of a deliberate strategy to maintain employment growth and competitiveness in the tradable part of the economy, with wage restraint partly shared across the income distribution. In the United States, income inequality has risen as the upper end of the income and education spectrum benefits from globalization, while the rest experience declining employment opportunities in the tradable sector.

Technological innovation and global market forces have produced a decisive shift in income toward capital and the upper 20 of the income distribution, often at the expense of middle income groups, the unemployed, and the young. The beneficiaries of these trends may have accumulated enough political influence to maintain the status quo, highlighting distributional issues that have generally received too little attention in understanding policy responses or their absence.

Having more than doubled since its crisis induced trough, the US equity market not to mention its amply rewarded upper income shareholders has been the principal beneficiary of the Fed s unconventional policy gambit. The same is true for a variety of once risky fixed income instruments from high yield corporate junk bonds to sovereign debt in crisis torn Europe.

The Fed s own survey data, which underscore the concentration of wealth at the upper end of the US income distribution, fit the script of the Occupy movement to a tee. QE benefits the few who need it the least.

No other country that became upper middle income after 1950, and then made the transition, took nearly as long. In fact, the average length of that transition was 14 years, with economies such as South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong taking as little as seven years.
