Why You Feel Poor (Even Though The Economy is "Booming")
from The AI Econ Dive · host Wilson x The NotebookLM Team
Do you feel "gaslit" by economic news? The GDP is up and the stock market is breaking records, yet you can't afford groceries or rent. You aren't crazy—you are living in the "Great Disconnect". In this episode, we break down the K-Shaped Economy: a structural split where the rich get richer while everyone else gets left behind. We uncover: • Laptop vs. Touch Class: Why digital workers gained leverage while physical workers got crushed. • The Inflation Lie: Why the official inflation rate is 3%, but your "real world" inflation is double digits. • The Asset Bubble: How money printing flooded the stock market (The Cantillon Effect) instead of your paycheck. • Global Case Studies: From America's "Vibecession" to China's "Lying Flat" movement and Taiwan's housing crisis. Plus: Will AI fix the gap, or create a new "Fractal K" that splits the white-collar class in two?. #Economy #Inflation #Recession #KShapedRecovery #HousingMarketLeave a comment and share your thoughts: Powered by Firstory Hosting
