I don't think just throwing money at the masses will solve the problem. His point is that capitalism works best from the middle out. The more you pay your workers, the more they buy from you. This benefits everyone and is the cornerstone of a thriving economy. It reminds me of Silicon Valley's "tip-to-tip" brainstorm. It's a nice thought but I'll be keeping my pitchfork sharp just in case.
