Every decade since the 1960s, Real (ie. non-financial) US GDP growth has slowed ( https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/A191RL1Q225SBEA https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/A191RL1Q225SBEA ). Industrial capacity utilization has been shrinking since the early 1970s. In the early 1970s, 88% of invested capital was utilized in production. Today that's less than 76%. So about a quarter of invested capital is sitting idle currently.
