Some economists contend that these conditions are inevitable results of market outcomes, globalization and technological progress; but Stiglitz argues that American inequality is the result of misguided structural rules that are holding back economic growth—and that it is time to rewrite those rules and curb the wealth flow that goes to the top 1 percent, restore opportunity for the middle class, and foster stronger growth rooted in prosperity that is broadly shared.
