The financial system isn’t (or part of) the economy, it wrecks the economy. | InvestmentWatch
Some of you may confuse the financial system with the economy. They are related but not the same thing. I’ve researched over the internet to find out how are they interact, especially the structure of the U.S financial system. U.S has the biggest economy in the world, that’s why people participate in finance earn the most money: the U.S financial system wrecks the economy because it is sucking the money out of the economy. However, the economy need to help it when it is in trouble. Hilarious, huh?
