I agree to a point, but would qualify this to the problem being unfettered capitalism in a vacuum of social investment. The growth in the knowledge economy has such a huge potential to level the playing field - but it can only do so if there is fair access to good education. Here in the US, only those with means have a decent chance of getting the kind of education that enables them to join in the new class of workers, which results in a feedback loop and a widening income gap.
