Cape May TEDx Talk 2023
In this iconoclastic talk, Richard Vague examines the assets, liabilities, and incomes of the entire country, private and public sectors, to reveal its net worth. His holistic analysis shows that the real factor that drives both financial crises and spiraling inequality―but also, paradoxically, economic growth―is ever-rising private debt. The paradox is that while debt is essential and our economy relies on it, it also brings instability.
