America’s Self-Inflicted Economic Crisis

America’s post-WWII economic dream transformed from a middle-class haven to a system prioritizing short-term gains. The Bretton Woods system’s collapse, deregulation, and the tech boom fueled a culture of speculation. The US pushed free markets in Asia, leading to a devastating crash, while China emerged as a hidden power manipulating currency and buying American debt. This easy money inflated a housing bubble in the US, bursting in 2008 and exposing the deep flaws in the system, leaving us searching for a new economic model. #therichhaveit @therichhaveit
