Market power, lack of competition or opportunity squeezing employment and investment these are underlying cause of lacklustre growth.
David Kay Johnston makes a very persuasive argument that public policy policing is doing more harm than good
"Governments are helping big industries by diminishing competition, providing abundant cheap credit for speculation rather than investment and failing to rein in price gouging. In turn, these policies produce a growing concentration of income and wealth at the top while the vast majority struggle with falling wages, flat incomes, job insecurity and a shrinking slice of investment assets."
