Welcome to
Get To Know Your CEO.

Within this website you will be able find stories, statistics and other information about the ever increasing income divide between the top 1%, 10% and the bottom 90% of the people in the US and elsewhere. Here you will find current and past articles with links to their sources about the economic disparities that exist here and elsewhere in the world.

This website was inspired by works of Art created by Christopher Engel in 1992 which were exhibited in a show entitled Men in Suits in Buffalo, NY in 1995. Below is one of the pieces depicting the disparities that existed in 1990 in the US.

This graphic work represents the income disparity in 1990, back then the average US CEO made only 107 times what the average US worker made. That is $2,918,000 to $27,271.  By 2007 The average CEO made 431 times what the average US worker took made. The line of figures that come up to the sole of the big shoe represents the average US worker for 1990. The largest figure, of course, is the American CEO.  The other large figures represent the German, Japanese, French and British counterparts for that same year.

This graphic image was created by Christopher Engel in 1992 as part of an Art Project centered around startling economic statistics the artist became aware of as a result of reading an important book by economist and political commentator Kevin Phillips.  This website, created by Christopher Engel is an extension of that Art Project.
