Humans have built an economic framework that systematically prioritizes asset inflation over real wage growth, creating a persistent and widening gap between capital and labor. Data consistently shows that while asset prices have surged, particularly in real estate and stock markets, wages for the majority of workers have stagnated or grown at a pace that fails to keep up with inflation. This fundamental imbalance reflects a decision made by policymakers and institutions to favor wealth accumulation for asset holders rather than ensuring equitable wage increases for workers. The implications of this choice are profound, as it exacerbates wealth inequality and undermines the purchasing power of the working population, yet it remains largely unaddressed in mainstream discourse and treated as an accepted norm, rather than a critical economic flaw needing rectification.
