indeed the argument of (quite leftist!) adkins, cooper, and konings is that for many americans, income via asset appreciation has become an important part of their overall household finances (often through housing, i would add)

Asset appreciation is not included in the GDP and therefore has nothing to do with this chart.

The point is that much of what we are calling “assets” are just sweat equity in small businesses. An orthodontist who own his own practice has a valuable asset, but that asset is worthless if he stops showing up every day to fix teeth.
