The Myth of Cash on the Sidelines
The Compound and Friends
**2022 recession didn’t technically happen because of backwards revisions. **
High unemployment remains a concern, but the critical issue lies in the government's approach to economic recovery. The current focus on property investment as a sole vehicle for growth raises questions about long-term sustainability, particularly when inventory runs out. Short-term incentives, such as lowering down payments for second homes, do not address underlying economic problems. Moreover, evidence suggests that the commonly accepted notion of a 2022 recession is flawed; revisions in data have indicated that there were not two consecutive quarters of negative GDP, which challenges traditional recession definitions. This revision reinforces the idea that economic metrics and classifications can be misleading and are subject to change, highlighting the complexities of interpreting economic conditions accurately. Additionally, despite the drawbacks in policymaking, household wealth—when compared to national debt—is at record highs, suggesting a disparity in economic health indicators that merits deeper investigation.
