Don't forget that the income gap in Venice was immeasurably worse then in the USA today. Contrast the doge with the sailer who had nothing but a life of indenture.
Although the income gap is fact, it is hard to say that America is become less inclusive and hence I find it hard to support this author's argument.

I think you mean inequality was higher, not worse. Executing all American billionaires would lower inequality in this country, but it wouldn't make it better.
