Trickle-Down Theory: Did Good Intentions Backfire?

It wasn’t a conspiracy. And I don’t even think policymakers intended to create the massive wealth gap we’re living through today. Their belief was simple: by printing money, driving up stock prices, and inflating housing values, everyone would benefit. Even those without assets were supposed to see gains as wealth “trickled down” from the top.

But here we are. The next generation is locked out of the lifestyle many of us once took for granted. Wages lag, housing is unattainable, and wealth is concentrated in fewer hands than ever before.

Good intentions don’t always equal good outcomes. And in this case, the system designed to help everyone has left far too many behind.
