INSIGHT

Debt Management Era

  • The 2008 financial crisis began an era of debt management, with two possible outcomes: quantitative easing (QE) or economic collapse.
  • QE is like using a credit card to pay off another, hoping income eventually rises to cover the debt.
INSIGHT

Stagnant Wages

  • Real wages haven't increased since 1972, hindering the American dream of economic participation leading to wealth.
  • Increased productivity through exponential technologies may be the only solution to revive real wage growth.
ANECDOTE
