"Wohlstand für Alle" - dieses Versprechen verbinden viele Deutsche mit der Sozialen Marktwirtschaft. Vor dem Hintergrund der anhaltend hohen Einkommens und Vermögensungleichheit werden in der öffentlichen Debatte jedoch immer häufiger Zweifel an der Fähigkeit der Sozialen Marktwirtschaft laut, Wirtschaftswachstum mit sozialer Teilhabe zu kombinieren. Die Diskussionsbeiträge hierzu sind vielfältig und weit davon entfernt, ein einheitliches Bild zu zeichnen. Einerseits wird auf die sinkende bzw. stagnierende Reallohnentwicklung der unteren Einkommensklassen und das damit verbundene Schrumpfen der Mittelklasse in den vergangenen 30 Jahren hingewiesen. Andererseits wird vielfach der Standpunkt vertreten, dass durch zusätzliche Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten im unteren Einkommenssektor die Möglichkeit zu sozialem Aufstieg überhaupt erst eröffnet wird.
