From the document you link to, I think the most striking illustration is this one:[ATTACH=full]260276[/ATTACH]However, the disappearance of the middle class wasn't due only to a fall (from middle income to lower income) since the part of the population getting an upper income grew from 14% to 21%.What is shown isn't a rise of poverty, it's a (slow but steady) rise of wage inequalities, that need to be compensated by non-wage redistributive measures. Espcially when the ratio will be 95% (lower or even no income) and 5% upper income.Refusing technological progress would make the pie stop getting bigger. Accepting technological progress it will let it increase and increase inequalities if this specific progress isn't addressed, which is relying on other mean that keeping salaries artificially high by rejecting technical improvement.</blockquote>
