     @drak I think the uneven laws precede (and may even cause) the increased inequality.

     “Changes in socio-cultural policies are driven largely by change in the attitudes of the affluent, and only weakly (if at all) by the middle class or poor.” http://clas.uiowa.edu/polisci/files/polisci/donnellylefkofridiAug27%281%29.pdf ← seems to be the other way round.

     Or rather: as soon as there is inequality, it pushes legislation which creates more inequality. The original cause isn’t that important.
