Synopsis

Middle class standards of living are falling. The economy is stagnating. The divergence in incomes and wealth between people who earn their income from wages versus those whose income comes from capital is becoming extreme. Artificial Intelligence and robotics will displace many, including middle class and professional workers. The “new normal”, a stagnating economy, is not normal. It is a result of failed government economic policy. Capitalism is no longer working in America. The USA is the most innovative nation in the world but it is following economic policy that excludes 99 percent of the population from participating in the benefits. The question is: Does America remain a capitalist country or does it go down the road to a Social Democracy? Every politician and every member of the “one percent” need to read this book. Bernie Saunders and Donald Trump are a wake up call. “Politicians who promise to accelerate economic growth and rebuild the middle class without addressing the four fundamental root causes are blowing smoke.” The single most important economic metric for a functioning society is that the standard of living for low-income and middle-class people meaningfully increase over time. Productivity Economics will achieve this.
