While there was another post pointing out the WWII thinking and mind set
that continues to rule the country, there's another aspect that intrigues
me and someone must have done work on?
Some claim the economy is being run for the interest rates and stock market
capitalization and for dividends. The WWII generation is the one that
controls the wealth, although they are starting to die off and leave it to
their children. How much of the economic interests of the country is being
run to protect this wealth? To lead to a favorable climate so the interest
and dividend payments can keep the nest feathered? Or am I off base here?
best, Don Monkerud
