War, actually. Inequality in the Victorian era was high, after the early 20th century labor movements and a couple of world wars wages greatly improved.

There have been many periods of high inequality and stagnation in history broken up by war. Since war is not a preferable catalyst in this day and age, we have to opt for organized labor.

Well war in Ukraine isn't going to clean the slate for the Western world, so I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean.
