The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI 0.34%) began what would be the
longest and strongest secular bull market in its history a year after
Reagan broke PATCO, producing real gains of nearly 700% from 1982 to
2000, even though real corporate earnings only doubled during the same
period. These market gains -- which took place at a time when millions
of Americans were becoming stock market participants -- helped the
nation overlook a growing divide between labor and capital that only
became widely apparent following the 2007 financial crisis.
