Why are so few Americans able to get ahead? there are three core reasons:

 

1. Earnings (wages and salaries) have not kept up with the rising cost of living.

 

2. The gains have flowed to capital, which is mostly owned by the top 10%, rather than to labor ((wages and salaries).

 

3. Our financialized economy incentivizes cartels and other rentier skims, i.e. structures that raise costs but don't provide any additional value for the additional costs.
