except we've had unambiguously massive economic growth the unending poverty (that I'd remind you has always been worse historically it's just below the poor back then were slaves or indentured servants) is a policy consequence of increasing the share of income paid to the wealthiest (by reducing their taxes and globalization undermining labor power).
Right, some people might want to point to a single monetary policy or event but this is a sustained trend of piling on policy after policy. This looks like a "new" ideology showed up and drove policy decisions in a different direction.
