The simplest answer, for the US anyway, is greed, specifically corporate greed.
A few even more specific reasons are wage stagnation, inflation, cost living rising, home prices out of control, broken healthcare system, disproportionate welfare systems, and an aging population that consumes far more resources than they generate.
The answers to these problems are not as simple as waiving one’s hand, but removing or disincentiving greed would go a long way to reducing most of it.
Almost every problem we race is due to greed that values money and power over people.
