I've read that Henry Ford is considered pioneer of the living wage, and that health care, as a benefit, was first offered by businesses as a way to attract and retain good employees.

But as a kid I was kinda taught that 'fighting' people with money-business, the system, was the only way anyone got anything.

Last year a UC Davis study came up, , where they traced family last names from all over the world, for a period of 500 years.

They came to the conclusion that the poor have increased in wealth, but the middle class and the rich got richer too.

So what helped the labor-class,especially, the most?

Thank you and I look forward to your answer!
