Most economic data tells a comforting story. Growth is up. GDP is rising. Markets are strong. But zoom in, and a very different reality emerges. As Seth Levine puts it: “Jeff Bezos walks into a bar, and suddenly everyone’s a billionaire.” The averages are misleading. 70 years ago, if you were born into the bottom 25% of wealth, you had a 25% chance of reaching the top 25%. Today? It’s 5%. For the first time, a generation is coming of age expected to earn less than their parents. This isn’t just an economic issue. It’s a leadership and system design problem. If we don’t question how value is created and distributed, we risk optimizing a system that no longer works for most people. 🎧 Full conversation with Seth on the Unlearn Podcast. - Youtube: https://lnkd.in/gUzrMXrW - Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gVjGtG5V
