- 1Scientist Says Societies Escape Crisis by Reversing Elite Wealth Capture●Scientist Identifies How Societies Escape Social Crisis “Past societies escaped periods of crisis by reversing the root

The claim is being shared widely, with readers drawing comparisons to current debates over inequality and wage stagnation.
