The document summarizes issues facing capitalism today including jobs, wages, income inequality, and corporate short-termism. It finds that while the jobs picture has been strong, labor force participation is falling. Wages have barely risen despite rising productivity and corporate profits reaching near record highs. This is largely due to globalization, technology, tax policy, declining unionization, and "winners-take-all" labor markets. The U.S. also has the highest income inequality among developed nations and does less to redistribute income. However, business spending and R&D are better than perceived and firms that invest more in R&D see higher stock performance, suggesting corporations may not be as short-term as often believed.
Millennials website
Millennials are the most educated generation yet earn the least income of any generation. While 63% of 18-34 year olds have a college degree, their median earnings are only $35,000 - lower than previous generations despite higher costs of education. The high cost of college has risen 234% over inflation, leaving 71% of millennials in student loan debt averaging $15,000 per person.
Min wage final3
The document discusses how the real minimum wage has been declining when adjusted for inflation, cites cities that have hiked their minimum wages, and notes that as of May 2014, restaurant workers were among the lowest paid workers according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Uber
Uber is replacing taxis as a transportation option, with 55% of US consumers having used Uber compared to 43% using taxis, and Uber is gaining market share across the US. The rise of Uber has also hurt taxi medallion prices, with data through January 2015 showing decreasing prices in cities like New York where Uber operates.
Greece final
Greece has high pension spending and low VAT collections compared to other European countries as of 2013. Greek government revenues and spending have both declined as of 2012 according to Eurostat, OECD, and WSJ data sources. The document discusses Greece's pension and tax revenue issues and declining government finances.
Greece final
Greece has experienced a worse recession than the Great Depression based on GDP decline from peak to trough. Greece also has the highest unemployment rate in Europe at 25.6%, which is significantly higher than other European countries such as Germany, the UK, and France. Additionally, Greece has a very high level of government debt as a percentage of GDP, making it one of the most heavily indebted countries in Europe.
Politicians nw final
The document compares the estimated net worth of 2016 presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, as well as the average net worth of members of Congress versus average Americans.

Donald Trump claims a net worth of $9.2 billion, including $5.3 billion in real estate, $3.3 billion in brand value, and $0.3 billion each in cash and other assets, though Forbes estimates his worth to be $4.1 billion.

Ct final

Specific states like Florida, New Hampshire, and Texas had more favorable business climates and economic indicators than states like Connecticut and New York.
Ceo pay
CEO pay and Wall Street compensation have increased dramatically in recent years. While average American wages have grown modestly, top executives and bankers have seen their incomes skyrocket. This growing inequality threatens shared prosperity and economic security for working families.
Testimony steven rattner
Steven Rattner testified before the Senate Finance Committee on the need for tax reform. He argued that the tax code has deteriorated without reform in over 30 years, allowing lawyers and accountants to legally ease tax burdens for their wealthy clients. For example, the 400 highest income Americans saw their tax rate drop from 30% to 17% from 1995 to 2012 due largely to low capital gains and dividend rates. Rattner advocated achieving greater fairness and revenue by reducing the number of tax rates, eliminating special treatment of capital gains and dividends, and reducing loopholes that disproportionately benefit the wealthy.
Obamacare
Enrollment in Obamacare exchanges exceeded expectations, with over 8 million signing up in the 2014-2015 period. The number of uninsured Americans dropped significantly as a result of the Affordable Care Act, falling from over 40 million uninsured to around 28 million. The law expanded access to health insurance and lowered the rate of uninsured Americans.
Economy final

Middle class final
Middle class wages have stagnated over the past few decades, growing only 40.6% compared to 6.1% growth for the top 1% and declining -5.3% for the bottom 20%. More recently, middle class wages have begun declining, falling -1.7% in recent years compared to further growth of 3.3% for the top 1% and a larger decline of -4.3% for the bottom 20%. Additionally, fewer Americans now think they belong to the middle class according to a recent poll.
