The Pendulum of Economic Ideologies
Economics is influenced by large, generational super cycles that depict how ideologies evolve and often lead to their own downfall. This cycle reflects a gradual swing of the pendulum, revealing a tendency for dominant ideas to push boundaries too far. Current political rhetoric mirrors past sentiments, with leaders appealing to the average worker, reminiscent of the 1930s' emphasis on tariffs, immigration control, and wage advocacy. As this pendulum shifts, we can anticipate increased defense spending as part of the next developmental phase.
