A
The top 1% of earners will capture a larger and larger share of the total income as the overall income inequality increases.
💡 Explanation:
The Saez Hypothesis states that the top 1% of earners will capture a larger and larger share of the total income as the overall income inequality increases. This is because the wealthy are able to accumulate more wealth at a faster rate than the rest of the population, leading to a widening of the income gap.
