I understand very little about (macro) economics and have no numbers to back this up — but it feels like increasing poverty is a global trend. Am I right?
If so, what is causing this (primarily)? Distribution of wealth? Productivity decline? Temporary resource misalignments? Demographic imbalance?
The collapse of New Left politics & the ardent vociferous anti-person/anti-societal rightwingism that has ground effective governance to a halt.
The adversary of humanity grows - ever increasing rent, worsening health care, ever rising corporate profits - and there's no functional bodies left to represent & govern the systems of the world. Jamming up the governments was too easy. Few governments have real power to try anything. Adversarial legalism and adversarial governmentalism insure broad non-response to all situations.
