Money is zero sum and it determines who owns the 'stuff'. Higher wages mean working-age generations are able to generate some wealth whereas until now only older generations could, as their assets continuously appreciated without losing value due to inflation. I see the whole thing as intergenerational conflict. Pre-genX'ers went through a period of high inflation, which was also one of historically low inequality, followed by a period of very low inflation and very high inequality. This enabled them to accumulate and maintain vast wealth. Now post-genX'ers think it is their turn. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Yonatan-Berman/publication/301591761/figure/fig10/AS:362300671315981@1463390619907/Historical-economic-inequality-in-the-US-The-Wealth-blue-and-labor-income-orange.png https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Yonatan-Berman/publicat...
