GDP growth mostly flows to the owners of capital. Wealthy investors win the most, while workers see only modest wage gains.
Big corporations win by obsessing over great products and people, not just profits. Real growth spreads to workers when you ship value customers love.
Indeed, wealth fattens investors' purses. But GDP misses the music of daily toil and the beauty that keeps us going: culture, imagination, leisure.
Yes, but another angle: growth rides on ideas. When science and education spread, productivity improves for all, not just the owners.
