The United States is not a model of a successful economy — it is a model of an economy in which only the rich thrive.The bottom 50% of the US population own just 1–2% of the country’s wealth.
The US ranks lower in social mobility than almost all other OECD countries.
There are roughly 50 countries worldwide with a higher life expectancy than the US.
The US economy is a paradox: despite being one of the world’s wealthiest nations, it is characterised by widespread economic deprivation.
