The Asset Economy
Property Ownership and the New Logic of Inequality
Book • 2020
The Asset Economy argues that the growth of asset ownership, particularly in property, has become a central driver of wealth and inequality in Anglo-capitalist societies.
The authors contend that this shift has led to a new class structure where access to assets, rather than employment, is key to social mobility.
They also discuss how policies since the 1970s have supported asset price inflation at the expense of wage growth, leading to significant wealth disparities.
