33. Rising inequality is testing this tolerance. Movements like Occupy Wall Street speak to a wider disillusionment in the US with what Gitlin calls the 'great divergence' between rich and poor since the 1970s (Todd Gitlin, 'Occupy's predicament: the moment and the prospects for the movement', British Journal of Sociology 64: 1, 2013, pp. 3-25).
