RE: The Triumph of the Lowest Common Denominator in Modern Capitalism

in #money6 years ago

Do you think a key factor in the increase of something like the S&P 500 is tied to the increase in that share's measuring unit the USD? It is true that resources have also increased with the increase in printed USD, however the measure of printed USD was in the past tied to population(people taking out loans). And, are not individuals the true source of wealth(particularly those that feel they can pay back loans). With the number of productive people in the world becoming static and money being printed regardless of market demand for loans, what do you think will happen to something like the S&P 500?

I suppose the question is are we today (2000 - now) seeing some potential return like 1930s to 1960s or are we seeing a temporary spike of resistance to the coming doom like 1975 to 1980s?... I would let the reader decide.
