I suppose that the reason that there is no crushingly argued paper detailing just how "overhead and ancillary wages" ate up ALL of the gains in productivity for the bottom 80% of the workforce is that the prospect of being able to do so is laughable, even to 'Mainstream' economists. Best just to keep quiet about increasingly skewed income distribution - damn Pikittey!
