Commenting on the slow growth in worker pay, Dimon wrote that"forty percent of American workers earn less than $15 an hour, and about 5% of full-time American workers earn the minimum wage or less, which is certainly not a living wage." "Socialism inevitably produces stagnation, corruption and often worse—such as authoritarian government officials who often have an increasing ability to interfere with both the economy and individual lives—which they frequently do to maintain power," he wrote.
"Show me a country without any large, successful companies, and I will show you an unsuccessful country—with too few jobs and not enough opportunity as an outcome," Dimon wrote."And no country would be better off without its large, successful companies in addition to its midsized and small companies. Private enterprise is the true engine of growth in any country."
