Adam Tooze: U.S. per capita income growth driven by top earners
U.S. incomes raised by top earners

Higher per capita incomes in the U.S. are primarily a result of the growing gap between the top 10 percent of earners and the rest of the population, according to Adam Tooze. He observes that this divergence also sets the U.S. apart from other countries. More insights can be found in his Chartbook Top Links.

Tooze has recently noted a 25 percent rise in U.S. LNG exports alongside a 61 percent increase in natural gas prices during 2024. He also reported that global investors are moving away from U.S. financial markets due to Trump-related uncertainty. These developments provide further context for his latest observations on income distribution.
