INSIGHT

Parasitic Activities and Dollar Devaluation

  • A significant portion of the US GDP comes from parasitic activities like government, finance, insurance, real estate, and healthcare administration.
  • These sectors don't produce anything but take a cut of every transaction, existing on the back of the productive economy.
  • This parasitic growth, coupled with high debt, necessitates dollar devaluation.
  • Devaluing the dollar is presented as emergency surgery, a short-term fix to allow adjustments before tackling the longer-term problem.
  • The longer-term issue concerning AI and robotics productivity, potentially leading to job displacement and a financial crisis if not addressed.
