We are back! In this episode of The Lonely Liberal, we unpack one of the most common myths in American life: that a rising stock market means a healthy economy. From the shift away from pensions to 401(k)s, to the rise of stock buybacks and the concentration of market wealth in the hands of the richest 10%, we look at how Wall Street’s obsession with short-term profits has eroded jobs, wages, and long-term security for everyday Americans. Why are we forced to cheer for a system that’s hurting us — and what could a better, fairer economy look like?
