Interesting take on it you have.
What can American middle class workers do about stagnant real wages? Productivity is up, but it's been a while since we've had a raise.
- natrius 11y agoIf you believe that too much of the gains from progress have accrued to capital, you can fight to redistribute those gains. Protectionism is redistribution too, it's just poorly directed. Personally, I'd rather see the wealthy fund more public goods. Few people are struggling, and we should support them. Other than that, let's pursue abundance together instead of trying to adjust relative wealth.
