For the rank and file it might very well be economic, but the up and coming politicians seem to be more about money and power than any actual plan of governance.

The irony about the economic issues is that tax rates and wealth redistribution were so much higher after WW2, and economic inequality was quite a bit less than today. The domination of right wing politics has been increasing inequality for decades, so why would anyone think that moving further to the right would help?
