That's not the point of the graph though. It's to show poverty since the 80s hasn't lowered even though productivity and profits have gone up.

just because you are economically illiterate does not make it misleading
real median income has remained near static this century, and has only gained minutely since the 70's. relative poverty is a function of income at that point in time, and as that has not improved greatly over the past 50 years, someone living in relative poverty today is not doing much better then someone living in relative poverty in the 70's. this is all the more confusing if you consider the giant increase in income and wealth for the the peak of society, that has not in any significant way trickled down for the masses

Thats only because the definition of poverty is a moving target. What we consider poverty in America today would be considered rich in much of the world and even America only a few generations ago. Its not useful metric unless you adjust for something like absolute poverty that doesn't move the goal posts as a society becomes more prosperous overall

Perhaps not in raw income, but the world is a much better place now thanks to capitalism and the technology and lack of war it has wrought

But still, the most advanced capitalist nation in the world still seeing increases in real wages at all levels is unequivocally a good this even if the gains are modest. Keep in mind that all of recorded history up until about 200 years ago saw almost no gains over millennia before capitalism. Things are wildly better now than ever before but its absurd to expect income to keep increasing at those levels perpetually. Things could level off perpetually now and we would still be way the fuck better as a people for the gains we have made, unless things start falling apart this line of argument you are entering has little merit, you are basically just arguing about receiving slightly smaller raise than you think you deserve

>its absurd to expect income to keep increasing at those levels perpetually
you are right, a basic sollow swann curve would even show that income growth tails off in advanced economies. the real issue here is that all the growth we are currently seeing is only for a fraction of the population
>Things could level off perpetually now
