Economic Shifts and Personal Financial Stress

Your financial stress isn't a personal failure, it is a historical shift in how the

entire economy is rigged. Back in the post-war era, we had something

called the Great Compression. Wall Street and Main Street actually worked together.

Unions were strong, and companies prioritized long-term stability over quick cash. Then the seventies

hit and we pivoted to shareholder primacy. Suddenly, the only thing that mattered was the

stock price. We traded guaranteed pensions for risky 401ks and turned housing into a gambling

asset. We went from an economy that built things to an economy that just moves

money around, leaving you to foot the bill.
