Profits, bonuses, and dividends.

Which would be a nice balance to the way productivity has rocketed since the late 70s, and has mostly flowed to the top 1%.

Ultimately - and predictably - wealth hoarding becomes economic self-harm. You need distributed prosperity if you want diverse growth and economic and social stability.

Productivity has tracked wages pretty well. The graphs you’re referring to compare median wages to mean productivity, which is of course nonsense.
