The largest wealth transfer in history.
Time for a thread πππ
Todayβs mix of monetary and fiscal policies are having a very different economic impact then we saw post the GFC.
Back then, deflationary forces were exacerbated by a brutal wealth loss problem.
Especially the lower classes.
They lost over 84% of their net worth from '07-'11.
This time we are seeing the complete opposite.
Lower classes just increased their wealth at the highest annual amount in the history of the data.
In fact, the bottom 50% net worth not only increased but is now 77% higher than it was at the peak of the housing bubble.
If we zoom out, this is what the prior chart looks like going back to the 90s.
