    You’re right - boosting productivity in a way that lets the wealthy hoover up those gains is actually a glass half-full perspective! Also very possible it does nothing good at all (but also makes the rich richer).

      In the short term, productivity can be improved by increasing uncompensated overtime and liberal use of the cosh. That doesn’t mean it’s a good idea, or one that’s viable in the longer term.
