Is 0% growth for 90% a successful economic model?

Such a fantastic title. Just 9 words, yet it packs so much in.

I am especially curious why people become defensive when this issue is raised:

While most people express initial concerns about recent trends of increasing inequality, there tends to be a negative reaction about accepting that this is indeed a failure of our current economic model and most become very defensive when that argument is being made.

Why be defensive? Why not just work to end it?
