The Economist on corporate profits in America and the smaller share of output going to workers- a public debate in the U.S. presidential election of 2016
03/24/2016
Most of the candidates in the 2016 presidential election have emphasized the problems of sluggish wages and lack of upward mobility in the U.S. Here the Economist looks at the situation with a small number of firms reaping the benefits of high profits and a lagging working class. Rising disparities in income and inequality are creating social discontent and voter dissatisfaction with the establishment candidates.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
