        Growth is not the issue. Distribution and inequality are. Growth is irrelevant if huge parts of society can't enjoy it.

        Do you realize that welfare today pays more than the average worker earned in 1900? That wouldn't be possible without growth.

        well if you look at the part from 2008 (financial crisis) you'll see it dipped down and is only just passing that level again

        Why 2009 $ when it was relatively low value? Seems fishy, especially in light of GDP of 1%. Are you falling for the trap?
