Why the Stock Market Is So HIGH While the Economy Is COLLAPSING - The Great Financial Illusion

Why the Stock Market Is So HIGH While the Economy Is COLLAPSING - The Great Financial Illusion

U.S. DOLLAR COLLAPSE - FOLLOW THE MONEY

World Affairs In Context

In today’s video, we’re tackling one of the most frequent... and important, questions I get:
If the economy is doing so poorly, why is the stock market still soaring?

It’s a paradox that defines our era. The United States economy struggles under inflation, debt, and inequality, yet Wall Street hits new records. How can this be? The answer lies in decades of monetary excess, financial engineering, and broken market forces that have distorted reality itself.

We’ll explore:

* The disconnect between stock prices and real economic value
* How quantitative easing and low interest rates created artificial growth
* The Cantillon Effect — how new money enriches the few at the top first
* Why the “Magnificent Seven” tech giants (Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, etc.) dominate markets
* The dangerous consequences of asset price inflation for the middle class
* What this means for democracy, inequality, and the global financial order

From Nvidia’s $4.4 trillion market cap to central banks’ trillion-dollar liquidity injections, we’ll uncover how modern finance became an alternate universe, one that no longer reflects real productivity or innovation.

This isn’t just about economics... it’s about trust, fairness, and the future of the system itself.
