Nothing that's going to happen in the future will make sense unless we understand this, so refill your beverage of choice and let's go through what changed. Wages gained ground 1945 - 1975, and lost ground 1975 - 2025. In the "glorious 30" (Trente Glorieuses) years of sustained global growth 1945 - 1975, wages' share of the economy remained around 50% of the nation's income. As the economy expanded, wages increased in step with the economy. Since the mid-1970s, that trend has reversed. Wages have lost ground for the past 50 years.
