In this episode we look at the impact of increasing income and wealth disparities and prices on consumer spending. For example, the top 10% of all US households now accounts for 50% of consumer spending and the average house price ($500K) is now six times median household income ($80,020). In 1955 the average house price was 2.5 times the median income.
