The economic expansion has enriched one-percenters to the point they now hold almost as much wealth as middle and upper-middle classes combined. I wonder how this will play out in the coming elections.

Leave a CommentWith the talks of trade wars/tariffs I am reminded of Jack Ma’s interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos. From CNBC:
‘”The American multinational companies made millions and millions of dollars from globalization,” Ma said. “The past 30 years, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, they’ve made tens of millions — the profits they’ve made are much more than the four Chinese banks put together. … But where did the money go?”
He said the U.S. is not distributing, or investing, its money properly, and that’s why many people in the country feel wracked with economic anxiety. He said too much money flows to Wall Street and Silicon Valley. Instead, the country should be helping the Midwest, and Americans “not good in schooling,” too.’
Something to think about.
