Deep dives

The Dependency on Government Spending

The growing involvement of the government in the economy is highlighted, with recent shifts indicating that government spending may constitute up to 50% of the economy. This dependency is problematic because the government can't generate wealth in the same way that the private sector can; it primarily redistributes resources, which can stifle innovation and growth. As government jobs have surged, it has taken a significant toll on the private sector, making the economy less resilient. The result is a fragile economic environment where the government's fiscal health directly impacts the entire country.
